Agate from Mexico, Chihuahua, El Apache Agate

Large chunk of Apache Agate that has been faced on the front and bottom, with the exceptionally rare blue color. Measuring about __x__ inches across the front face. This is one of my favorite Apache Agates out of about 40 that I have owned, and one that I will probably keep for a long time even though I've been downsizing my collection. Thank you to my friend Walter who helped me acquire and build a very nice collection of Apache Agates. Walter told me the pieces I acquired from him were once part of the Rice Collection (Portland Oregon) and were the pieces the cutters (Maurice and Walter) got for sawing and polishing pieces from that collection. All of my Apache Agates have been nicknamed, this one I call "Screaming Blue." My fascination with Apache Agates began when I was a small boy reading about the famous Hooded Owl specimen in one of my dads books. I am in love with agates from this locality.
