Following is a selection of some of our private collection pieces and also some of our past fire agate rough sales. These rough gemstones come from some of the best agate mineral deposit locations in the world such as Slaughter Mountain, Deer Creek, Oatman Arizona, and some from the gemstone mines located in Calvillo Mexico. We strive to bring to market some of the best quality gem rough available to the general public. We hope that you will find this gallery selection of stones as proof to the quality of our material. Due to limited mining activities and tight supplies it is getting much harder to find this type of high grade fire agate rough lapidary carving material.
