The best of the agate is quite stunning, perhaps a bit like Ellensburg blue. It has a very slight purplish cast in fluorescent lighting, and shows banding.
Most pieces are quite small, two inches or less.
We hope to be able to offer cabs and other gems from this material eventually. I call it South Park Blue Agate. One trip this spring was made to the Calumet Iron Mine near Salida. It is world-famous for fine crystals of epidote. Another trip was to Cripple Creek with Carl Charette to check out the dump of the old Fluorine Mine.
