Reyes agate from Mexico is a colorful moss agate with red/gold highlights on a dark background. The deposit is located near the famous Cathedral agate mines and displays an intricate pattern of brightly colored moss/plume that takes a superb polish and makes very striking finished cabs. Although it is a relatively obscure material, it exhibits a distinctive pattern of color that sets it apart from other agate material from the same area. The seam is quite narrow, so large pieces of this agate are very hard to get.
