Polka Dot Agate Nodule Polished Rock Geode California
This lovely Polka Dot Agate nodule or geode was sliced and polished on one face, left natural everywhere else.
It is a rare Polka Dot Agate Nodule and it is 5.12 inches by 2.15 inches and .65 inch thick.
This one has waterline formation and a natural fracture line too.
These Polka Dot Agate Nodules were in on old collection self-collected in the 50's or 60's.
They come from the Chuckwalla Springs area in the Chuckwalla Mountains, in Riverside County, California. The mountains are named after the chuckwalla lizards.
Most of the mountains were designated by the Bureau of Land Management as the Chuckwalla Mountains Wilderness in 1994. And as the Chuckwalla National Monument in January, 2025. Therefore collecting rocks is no longer allowed.
No gemstone is more creatively striped by nature than agate, chalcedony quartz that forms in concentric layers in a wide variety of colors and textures. Each individual agate forms by filling a cavity in host rock. As a result, agate often is found as a round nodule, with concentric bands like the rings of a tree trunk.
The bands sometimes look like eyes, sometimes fanciful scallops, or even a landscape with dendrite trees. These lovely gray agates actually have polka dots!
