This one feels like holding a fossilized breath.
Plumes rise like smoke through translucent stone—ferns or flames or whispers, depending on what you see. That’s the thing about this kind of agate. It remembers what we’ve forgotten. It doesn’t just form—it accumulates. Slowly. Quietly. Over millennia.
This is Sheep Creek material from Central Oregon, near the old Les Schwab ranch. The site’s been closed for years. But this piece waited—cut by hand, polished just enough, and now suspended in silver. It holds microbial structures from ancient hot springs, likely tied to the Crooked River Caldera and the John Day Formation. Not volcanic glass. Not crystal. Chalcedony formed by life.
