This material known as Polka Dot Agate comes from the Priday Agate Beds in central Oregon near Madras.
Polka Dot Agate is so named for it's polka dot pattern. The dots in the agate range in size from very tiny up to about 1/4 inch across. Most of them are completely agatized, but some appear to be a soft iron oxide material similar to limonite or hematite. Most of the dots are sharp, concentric spheres. Others are spherical but with a slightly irregular outline.
The Polka Dot Agate mine was first worked by Native Americans and then later by the Priday family of Priday Ranch, and known for the famous Priday Agates. It was believed to be mostly mined out, so it was sold to a professor at Walla Walla College. It was acquired by West Coast Mining in 1978. It has recently been sold.
Metaphysical Properties of Polka Dot Agate: In general Agate cabochons are said to be stabilizing and strengthening. It is believed they help improve memory and increase energy.
