Obtained
thru a trade. It was claimed that this agate was the only
one sticking out of ground
in a ranch near Fort Stockton, Texas. It's safe for me to
say that it was found in an alluvial deposit coming from the
mountains to the southwest. It's the largest banded agate
and
I have seen coming from Texas so far and it got nice pastel
colors. It's not known if there are any more of that kind of
agate at the ranch but like many ranches in the Big Bend of
Texas, the ranch is private and focused on cattle raising so
it may be not possible to have an access to the ranch.
