Mississippi Agates, Seven Sets of Unique Semi Precious Stones To Choose From - Free US Shipping

The pieces of agate in this listing were found in Mississippi and in my opinion are unique when compared to those found anywhere else in the world. All stones display a combination of banding and cavities that are indicative of Mississippi agate material.

These specimens were found while searching for fossils in the early 1990's. Though I am not the first person to ever find this type of agate in Mississippi, I was completely unaware of the possibility prior to seeing them in the creek bed that day. Ten years would pass before a report of similar material being found was brought to my attention.

These agates are relatively rare and their origin is still a bit of a mystery. The best guess is that these gems formed within the lava vent tubes of an ancient volcano once located in western Mississippi. These vents were exposed after millions of years of erosion, setting the material free.

There are seven separate sets available and each is identifiable by the corresponding letters noted in the photographs. Several of the sets contain specimens that have been very lightly tumbled and polished. The balance of the material is in raw form, just as when it was collected.

Set "A": 10 raw pieces, total weight of 1.42 ounces.
Set "B": 3 raw pieces, total weight of 2.3 ounces.
Set "C": 5 raw pieces, total weight of 1.45 ounces.
Set "D": 5 tumbled pieces, total weight of 2.04 ounces.
Set "E" 5 tumbled pieces, total weight of 3.46 ounces.
Set "F": 5 tumbled pieces, total weight of 4.56 ounces.
