Crowley Ridge Agate
Crowley Ridge Agate 58.32 grams
Crowley Ridge agates are unique and beautiful rocks found in the floodplains of the Mississippi River, particularly near Forrest City, Arkansas, where Crowley's Ridge, a geologic formation, meets the river. They can also be found on the shores of the Mississippi in other states it crosses, including Missouri, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
These agates are known for their lace-like banding, which comes in a variety of colors, from yellows and tans to rarer reddish hues. They are typically found smooth and round, having been tumbled for centuries by the Mississippi River.
Crowley Ridge agates can be found in both raw and polished forms. Raw agates will have a more natural look, while polished agates will have a higher shine and their colors will be more vibrant. They can be oiled with mineral oil in the same way Lake Superior agates are to showcase the beautiful banding.
Whether you're a rockhound looking for a unique addition to your collection or a lapidary artist searching for beautiful materials to use in your jewelry making, Crowley Ridge agates are a great option.
