Description
~ Montana agate cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of Montana agate, cut from agate found long ago on a gravel bar of the Yellowstone River. This particular piece was selected from an old stash of 5 gallon buckets full I lucked into, which I very much enjoyed rummaging through one summer. The agate is quite clear, and contains a detailed fortification composed of a multitude of fine ribbons of dark brown. I think it's an impressive example of banded Montana agate, one that shows off even more when backlit, as seen in the last photo. It has a low but nicely rounded dome of 4mm, a versatile designer shape, and a brilliant polish both front and back.

Size: 44x23mm
Weight: approximately 29 carats
