{"product_id":"montana-agate-rock-slab-155","title":"Montana Agate Rock Slab 155","description":"\u003cp\u003eMontana agate has been a long time favorite of the lapidary enthusiast. Found in the alluvial gravels of the Yellowstone River in eastern Montana it has been collected and worked as a semiprecious stone for nearly a century. Noted for its clarity as well as its characteristic isolated black, and occasionally bright red dendrites, it makes excellent cabbing material. The majority of Montana agate pieces show a well-defined fortification pattern of black and brown as well as bright red\/orange. There are also variations of filament and tube patterns and a small percentage display an “iris” band in which minute, regularly spaced layers act as a diffusion grating and, like a prism, break light into a rainbow of color. It is a relatively easy material to work with, being quite hard, and takes a brilliant polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin:  Montana\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 4\" x 2.25\" and is  approximately 4.6 mm thick.  Weight = 51 g. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShown wet.
