Description
~ Montana agate cab ~

Offered here is a large, deluxe cabochon of Montana agate, cut from Yellowstone River agate found long ago. This particular piece was selected from an old stash of 5 gallon buckets full I lucked into, which I very much enjoyed rummaging through last summer. The agate is quite clear, and contains several ribbon-like fortification bands of dark brown, with touches of reddish-orange here and there. I think it's a gorgeous example of banded Montana agate, and it does show some iris effect held to the light, though that's not revealed well by the backlit photo. It has a low rounded dome of 4mm, a bold designer shape, and a brilliantly glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 44x29mm
Weight: approximately 33 carats
