Medicine Bow Dendritic Agate Cabochons
The fantastic material comes from Medicine Bow, Wyoming. The beautiful black dendrites that sometimes
resemble fern leaves or moss are made of the mineral manganese and really standout against the blue-white to pure white agate
background. This material has not been mined for several years and is becoming scarce on the market. I was lucky
enough to pick up a couple of slabs some 25 years ago at a rock and gem show.

Very busy cabochon with more dendrite than background cut into the shape of a Norman sheild, or a long tear drop, depending
on which direction you hold it in. Approx. size: 14x38 Weight: 18 cts.

Flat triangle that I cut for wirewrapping, although it could be placed in a prong setting. I'm not really satisfied
with this photo and will reshoot it in the future. I'd be happy to email new photos, if you're interested before I get around
to doing it though. Approx. size: 25mm/side Weight: 18.75 cts.
