Holly Blue Agate Cabochon

Holly Blue is known as one of the original Oregon greats. It was first called Calapooia Purple because it was found in the Calapooia River (and it's purple) until Tiffany & Co. bought the mine and changed the name for marketing purposes. High quality gems that are saturated in tone and lack fracturing or inclusions are hard to find. Although pieces can still be found along the river bed, they typically aren't super nice quality. The mine location is no longer open as the land is owned by one of the largest forestry companies in the world.

*These rocks are cut to the best of my ability. Hand cut rocks may contain some irregularities. As a nature made gem, sometimes hidden seams, fractures, pockets and texture may be contained within the rock. I am not responsible for any stone breakage or lost packages. I never edit my product photos however, some screens may show stone colors different than in person. Pictures are taken outdoors in afternoon lighting. All sales final.
