14×10 Holley Blue Agate Cabochons
$55.00
These cabs are aprox 14x10mm (but slight variations because they are handmade). Though some weigh as much as 7ct and some as little as 4.5, the average weight is 5.5ct each.
Some have a higher dome or more distinctive color or banding, etc.
If you’re not familiar with Holley Blue, it was found near Sweethome OR in the past, but the collection site has been closed for about 35 years. If you’ve got Holley Blue now, it’s extremely rare and getting rarer every day.

1.12ct Milky and yellow streaked Oregon Fire Opal
This Oregon Fire Opal weighs 1.12ct and measures 8.8x6.4mm.
The stone is more translucent than transparent, and there are streaks of milky white mixed with the golden yellow that make this an interesting piece. It would look great set with Carnilean in my opinion and either as a ring or a pendant will look great.
1.92ct Oregon Fire Opal Pear
This nearly 2ct Oregon Fire Opal glistens and gleams and catches the sun throwing prismatic effects.
There is an internal fracture more easily seen from the bottom of the stone than the top. I've reduced the price because of this but I'm my opinion it's still a very pretty stone that would look great in a pendant.
Measures 12.2x7.6mm and is 6.3mm deep. Weight is 1.92ct.
Holley Blue Agate tablet pair
Do you love a soft lavender color? Have you heard of Holley Blue Agate?
This chalcedony only comes from one place in the world, and that's the hillsides of Holley Oregon near Sweethome.
The problem is that about 30 years ago, all access to this material was closed off by the property owner, making it nearly impossible to get any.
This agate, while called Holley Blue, generally is a purple/lavender color with peach tints in the right lighting. These two pieces are matched in size and shape and have only the slightest variations in color. This is some of the best material of this type you'll find.
This pair, cut into a diamond shaped tablet with irregular angles, would make a stunning set of earrings or would look fabulous on a brooch or pendant.

Have you heard of Pink Diaspore?
This lavender to pink diaspore was first discovered in the Nangarhar province of Afghanistan in 2019 and started making its way to dealers in Peshawar Pakistan in 2020. Since we were in the middle of a worldwide pandemic at the time, this stone did not garner much attention, however one of my brokers in Pakistan got me some rough and I found it to be very interesting.
There are small tubular inclusions in the stone, which can be seen under magnification. These add some great light refraction. The color goes from almost a hot pink at some angles to a soft lavender color. The hardness is 6.5-7 and can be worn as a pendant, brooch, or with care as a ring.
This stone weighs 2.86ct and measures 9.6x5.9mm. Priced at a reasonable $300/ct, the total price for this stone is $858. Most dealers are now charging over $400/ct for this material.
