Cathedral agate from Mexico has been a long-time favorite with rockhounds everywhere.  Named for its “spires” of fingerlike agate stalactites, it contains awesome plumy moss patterns with amazing detail.  Normally predominantly browns and yellows, it occasionally has bright red/pink or purple accents.  It makes spectacular cabs or magnificent display pieces.  It has proven to be one of the keystone items in any agate collection.
