Maury Mountain Moss Agate Unpolished Stone Slab Rough Rock
This lovely, rare agate stone slab, known as Maury Mountain Moss Agate, is not polished and it is 3.9 inches by 3.4 inches and 4 mm thick.
It weighs .14 lbs. and is shown wet in the first 4 pictures.
It was from and old collection and was coated with some type of resin on one side, and it has yellowed (4th picture).
The Maury Mountains are a small mountain range within the Ochoco National Forest. There is a popular rockhounding destination there in Central Oregon, the Maury Mountain Agate Beds, located 39 miles east of Prineville.
The Maury Mountain Agate Beds are famous for their moss agate, a clear to white agate that contains mossy or fern-like inclusions. The moss agate found comes in various shades in addition to green; including red, brown, and gold.
Other types of agates, such as botryoidal, dendritic, and white plume agates, can also be found there.
The good quality Maury Mountain Moss Agate has long since been mostly depleted, with only the occasional chunk being found at the now public digs. This old classic Moss Agate is getting pretty hard to find!
