| We were introduced a few years ago to "Needles Blue Agate" by Maggie McShan from Needles, California. Maggie and her husband Frank ran an Old Time Rock Shop there in Needles and are well known in the Rockhound community. Chris obtained a very interesting Needles Blue Agate specimen display box (NOT FOR SALE) that Maggie and Frank have marked from the Blue Danube Mine. |
| We'll let the McShans explain this mineral with the description in their display. This mineral is very rare and only found in one location. The agate forms in layers within the matrix stone and must be cut out to make cabochons or other jewelry. We have been looking for Needles blue Agate for years now and finally found some old stock that probably came from Maggie and Franks shop. When Maggie died the entire shop sold off with little or no notice to the rockhound community so many years of collections were lost to who knows where. From time to time we find a few pieces from their collections. |
