Desperado comes from a very small and unrecognized deposit in Arizona.  The billowing magnesite clouds are outlined with dark red or brown agate producing striking contrast that makes distinguished cabs.  Occasionally there is a purple fortification agate that forms in the centers of the seam.  This material takes a great polish.
