San Carlos Agate Rough – Bright Red Plume-like with Blue Agate – Mexican Moss
This neat San Carlos Agate shows what almost looks like plume, with bright red running alongside blue agate through the body. The plume-like structures may be softer and could need treatment to cab those areas. Working around them is well worth it for the dramatic pattern this stone delivers.
