Big Diggins Agate – Rare Old Stock Moss & Plume Agate from New Mexico
Big Diggins Agate is a classic, mostly old stock agate collected near Deming, New Mexico, and prized by early rockhounds for its bold patterns and natural beauty. This material was highly sought-after in the golden era of rockhounding—and it's easy to see why.
Typically featuring mossy inclusions with well-defined agate bands, Big Diggins material can also reveal plume structures, adding even more visual interest and lapidary value. Known for its variety in color and pattern, this agate is ideal for cabbing, slab collecting, and polished display pieces.
Because most of this material was dug decades ago, Big Diggins Agate is now rare and increasingly hard to find, making it a must-have for collectors and lapidary artists who value quality and history.
