Roostertail Agate Rough Locality: Durango, Mexico
Roostertail Agate was never mined on a large scale. So, there isn't much
of this beautiful agate available on the market. We bought this material
many years ago and recently uncovered it in our storage. Roostertail Agate
is nice and solid and has bright colors and fabulous figuring.
As with all of the other species in the quartz family, agate takes a high
polish with cerium oxide, but also takes a fine polish with tin oxide and
diamond. Mohs hardness 7.
