The Rocks

This agate field, which I have immodestly named the “Carver” agate find, is in the hills overlooking Alpine, Texas and is the sole source of all of the agates shown in the photographs you will find here. All of these materials, including amethyst and agate amethyst, have been personally found by me on the “Carver” and each has been cut, shaped, and polished by me in order to highlight and emphasize the unique attributes of the material derived from this agate field.

 
The Bracelets

The Bracelets

The bracelets shown are intended to represent the diversity of the agate material found in the “Carver” field. Since each bracelet is unique, I cannot duplicate bracelets presented here. I will periodically bring to the site new bracelets and new stones. I only make a new bracelet when I cut and polish a stone which inspires me to create and design a piece of jewelry art that showcases that stone. These bracelets are best able to showcase the extraordinary agates from the “Carver.”

 
Field Diversity

Field Diversity

The “Carver” agate find is diverse, colorful, and unique. A wide range of colors is available in the stones found in this field, and the stones themselves are diverse and include geodes, jaspers, and chalcedony. More about the geologic make-up of the “Carver” can be found in the official report about the field and examples of the diversity of the field are available under the menu heading “Diversity” at the top of this page. This agate formation is unique and indeed very special.
