Oatman Agate Cabochons
This beautiful agate comes from the area near Oatman,
Arizona. It's one of the closest collecting areas to Quartzite where the big annual rock swap and meet is held, and
as such, has become fairly well known in the lapidary hobby. It's characterized by white, tan and yellow swirls in translucent,
clear agate. The patterns are reminiscent of clouds and angel wings.
