Death Valley /
Wingate plume agate Designer Gem set 8/3/2015 01 - Pendant
stone: 49 x 17 x 5.7 mm - 31 carats + Earring stones: 29 x
14 x 2.5 mm each - 18 carats total - Beautiful Wingate Pass
/ Death Valley Plume Agate. Very Rare agate from Death
Valley found in the area that is now China Lake Military
reserve bombing range so no more digging. Dug back in the
60's you'll be very lucky to get any of this amazing agate
these days and when you find it, it's expensive to say the
least. This material is notorious for cavities, soft spots
and flaws but these cabs are unusually low on these and
outstandingly beautiful. There are still some cavities and
undercutting but far less than most Wingate agate. This
stunning prize set is an extremely rare find - look
around... These stones will make extremely desirable jewelry
for someone very special. High domed front, girdled sides
and flat beveled back on the pendant stone and very low,
near flat domes, girdled sides and beveled flat backs on the
earring stones. $420.00 shipped to USA - paypal
