Hartsel Agate Cabochons
I collected this agate near the small town of Hartsel, Colorado after visiting the fee topaz mine in Tarryall
while traveling with my future ex-wife back in 1996. I had headed into the location because I read there was blue
agate in the area, which I did happen to find one 18 lb. piece of. We headed a little farther down the small dirt
road in hopes of finding more blue material, and found this interesting brown moss/plume agate instead. Some of this
did have small areas of translucent blue agate, but they were always very small and enclosed within the brown moss patterns.
