Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4342404 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
Yellow Cat Redwood limb Specimen collected at Tusher Canyon.Polished both ends, 4.5 x 3 x 3.5 cm limb section.
A mirror finish and a very rare specimen of carnelian fortification suspended in translucent silica. Barite crystal windows and a few Barite healed fractures in the larger face.
Total weight is about three ounces.I will be listing more specimens from my personal collection including a few of the finest ever found in the near future. There are very few of these remaining... and I haven't collected any in eight years.
For those of you who are familiar with Yellow Cat Redwood, the quality of a specimen is obvious when viewing good photos. The brilliant reds and yellows are unique to this material even when seen in the rough.
Those of you who are not familiar, there is another carnelian agate found in this area that is a pseudomorph of Barite. Be aware that Barite pseudomorph is a common mineral occurrence with a very low value that is comparable to other cutting agates. I have seen listings advertising Barite as Yellow Cat.

It can take up to two weeks to receive the package and I have never had a package lost in the mail.
