Discover the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest with this hand-picked Fraser River Agate.
Sourced directly from the gravel bars of the mighty Fraser River in British Columbia, each of these agates is a unique geological masterpiece, tumbled by nature’s powerful currents over thousands of years. Known for their exceptional clarity and warm, glowing hues, Fraser River agates are a favorite among rockhounds and lapidary artists alike.
Key Features:
- Origin: Fraser River Valley, British Columbia, Canada.
- Color Palette: Ranges from icy clear and milky white to rich honey ambers, soft greys, and striking carnelian reds.
- Patterns: Many specimens feature intricate banding, moss inclusions, or "fortification" lines that are revealed when backlit.
- Texture: Naturally river-tumbled to a semi-smooth finish, perfect for further polishing or keeping as a raw specimen.
Perfect For:
- Lapidary Art: An excellent hardness (6.5–7 Mohs) makes these stones ideal for cutting, cabbing, and tumbling.
- Jewelry Design: Their natural translucency catches the light beautifully, making them a stunning centerpiece for wire-wrapping or silversmithing.
- Collection & Display: A piece of Canadian geological history that looks beautiful in a terrarium, water feature, or specimen display.
Why Choose Fraser River Agates? Unlike mined stones, these agates have traveled hundreds of kilometers, naturally shaped by the river's journey. No two stones are exactly alike—when you hold one up to the sun, you are seeing a unique snapshot of the earth's volcanic past.
