NeedlePeak Agates
Terlingua, Brewster Co., Texas
 .
  Needle Peak Area currently owned by Woodward Ranch, is known as one of very few ranches open to the rockhounders on fee basis and the Woodward Ranch is where world-famous Texas Red Plume Agates can be found.  The Needle Peak area is known for green moss agates and a small percentage of such mossy agates contain yellow "Pom Pom" inclusions, giving them the nickname, "Pom Pom Agate" and "Thistle Agates". The yellow needle-like inclusions turn otu to be calcite or aragonite and not all of them were completely replaced by agate. Some banded agates have been found there too and they are basically white to colorless. Some can be cut to obtain Iris Agates.
   Rare yellowish tan agate and amethyst encrusted aragonite psuedomorphs have been found in that area, and one large piece ended up in the collection of Smithsonian Insitution. For more information, please visit Woodward Ranch
