Apple Valley Agate is a highly varied and colorful agate collected by nomadic herders in the Sahara Desert. Each piece is unique, often featuring a mix of pseudomorphic tubes, vibrant moss inclusions, scenic patterns, plumes, orbs, and a wide range of colors—like red, green, orange, blue, purple, and pink. It's a favorite among lapidary artists for its visual diversity and creative cutting potential. While hardness may vary, Apple Valley Agate typically takes an excellent polish and produces designer-grade cabochons.
📝 Natural Stone Disclaimer:
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.
These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations. If you have any questions about a specific piece, feel free to contact us before ordering.
🖼️ Photo Disclaimer:
To best showcase the color, pattern, and potential of each stone, most photos are taken with the material wet to simulate the appearance of a polished finish. The final photo is taken dry to help highlight any natural surface imperfections such as fractures, pits, or voids. Please review all images carefully before purchasing.
