Description
Woodward Ranch Alpine,Texas USA Red Plume-Pom Pom Agate Rough 4 oz. Folks, we have been accumulating these agates for years now and think we finally have enough to fairly offer these to our customers! See our images for example of the agates we offer. Your's will be different from shown but similar. Many Rockhounds already know that the Woodward Ranch in Alpine, West Texas has been closed to collectors for awhile now after being accessible for 50 years or more! Woodward Ranch, south of Alpine, is an oasis on the desert spreading north from the Big Bend in the Rio Grande.There are more than 60 different kinds of agate found on the ranch, as well as labradorite, quartz, amethyst, fluorescent calcite, and Texas' only precious opal. More than 40 million years ago, a volcano began forming the gemstones by burying the area in lava more than 750 feet deep. Over the centuries, water seeped into pockets formed by gases leaving behind minerals and forming quartz crystals.In earlier days-Besides being a rancher, Woodward and his wife, Jan, were lapidaries. They could cut the red plume agate wafer-thin and then polish it to a smooth finish. When the Texas sun shines through the rock, it releases a West Texas sunset of colors. Day trips to the ranch have now stopped, and any Woodward Ranch Agate Rough available are rare and becoming scarcer.Limited offer from Rockhound's 1st Choice! !!WARNING!! CHOKING HAZARD-Supervise Young Children.
