Fairburn Agate (RARE locale)

Item Description

A VERY RARE Fairburn Agate from a most obscure Nebraska locale and county. Fairburn Agate is a unique and rare variety of Fortification Agate from Fairburn, Custer Co., South Dakota, where it was first found (MINDAT). Beautiful intense banding of reds, oranges, pinks, greens, yellows and grays highlight the sculptural polished nodule. MINDAT lists two localities in Sheridan County, Nebraska for the agate, but no photos. Crawford, in Dawes County is adjacent to Sheridan County. A RARE, perhaps unique agate from Nebraska and comes with a fades 1960s or 70s label. A MUST for the species or locality collector.
