Montana Agate Cabochons
The Montana agate is usually a creamy light yellow to almost clear color with embedded moss structures in
varying shades of brownish red to black. Most of these Montana agates are found in gravel deposits from the Pleistocene
age in the area of the Yellowstone River and its tributaries.

This piece of Montana agate has a weird pattern inside it that I've never seen in this material before. There is
no color to the inclusions, just a white pattern that kind of reminds me of the tops of waves on a large lake on a windy
day. Approx. size: 18x28 Weight: 14.65 cts.
