These Agates are Gorgeous! Rockhounding and Polishing Beautiful Western Montana Mountain Agates!

In this one, we attempt to escape the heat by heading way west and up into the mountains to search for agates! This trip was intended to be more of a day trip/heat retreat, but you know I can't help myself when I see a river boasting exposed gravel! For the little amount of time that we stopped, we found some beautiful material! After spending so many countless hours hunting the Yellowstone River, it is always so strange to see Pre-River worn agates on these gravel beds, some of which are still encased in basalt! Unfortunately the rain cut our recon short, but we did get the very rare pleasure of encountering a wild Grizzly Bear! After getting back to the shop, I selected a few specimens to cut and polish, but I also decided why not try faceting one! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out very soon!
