Blue Mountain agate

Origin: Blue Mountain Mine, Malheur, Oregon.

I couldn't find anything on the internet describing a Blue Mountain Agate so I contacted Dale Huett, the owner of the Blue Mountain Mine which mainly produces a beautiful Jasper for help. He told me that there are several locations near their mine that use to produce agates and his mine has been known to produce agates at times. He told me it was okay to call my slabs Blue Mountain Agate.

The Redondo Beach Gem Shop shop went out of business sometime back in the 60's or 70's and 20 years ago, the owners of the shop held an estate sale in Santa Rosa, Calif., that's where I purchased these rare slabs.

Characteristics: Beautiful mixed colors of blues, red, green, yellow and gold, cut 3.5 mm thin, luster polish,. Color separation lines look like fractures but they're not. You can't see the beauty in my pictures, in hand it's gorgeous. I've used back lighting in my first 2 pictures to show all the colors in the slab. If you made earrings using this slab, the translucence will show the colors as they move on the ears.

My pictures don't do the slab justice, they all have beautiful translucent vibrant colors, it would also look great as a sun catcher hanging in your window or as a collector an AAA grade backlit specimen in your cabinet display.

There is only a couple of pits can that can be seen in the pictures. One is near the left end only on one side. There are no open fracture lines and all the lines seen in the pictures have been naturally filled in. Most of the lines were caused by color separation.

Approx size : Irregular: 3 3/4" x 2 1/4" x 3.5 mm. Weight: 37.6 g

Combining items with 2 or more listings. If they will fit in a standard bubble package and the weight is less than 4 ounces I will ship them with no extra charges.

I use a full spectrum 45 w light bulb - photography photo CFL 5500K. It's a daylight balanced pure white light.

An 18 mm dime and 10 mm background squares in some pictures should help you with image sizing.
