Self collected Agate from the world famous Horse Canyon Agate beds of Tehachapi, CA. Closed twice in the 60's. I was able to collect here intermittently in the 90's. We had it open to clubs for a short while in the early 2k's and then it was closed again due to trespassing and fence cutting. What a waste thanks to some morons out there. This location was one of my favorite collecting areas! I was granted a couple final trips before the land was sold for development. Fortunately I have several hundred lbs. of top cutting material.

Horse Canyon Agate 736 : Clear Agate with White Opal bands is the most common material there. The prizes are the pieces with dendrites. This one also has a druzy pocket. #gallery Horse_Canyon_Agate_736
