There is something really weird about the agates from
Trent, Oregon. The location may be the only one in the world where the
agates are found with stibnite, meta-stibnite, realgar(altered to orpiment
when exposed to light) inclusions. They appeared to be collected in the
past and it's not known if they stll can be found today. The agate
is a vein type and are colorless with some banding features. Realgar can
be noted by either breaking or cutting the agate clunks, but they will
be altered to orangeish orpiment once exposed to the light.
