The Gemstone Ellensburg Blue Agate
Ellensburg Blue Agate is one
of the
most rare blue agates in the world.
It is becoming increasingly rare as
virtually all of the hunting ground is
now located on private property.
Found near the town of Ellensburg,
Washington. In the NW corner of the
lower Kittitas Valley. This gem was
deposited by glacial movements. The
exact origin is unknown at this time.
However, Teanaway basalt is the host
rock for the Ellensburg Blue Agates.
This basalt has a characteristic reddish
brown appearance and covers many
square miles of Kittitas County.
The Color of Ellensburg Blue ranges from a light, sky blue on up to a
cornflower blue. we have seen it in an almost royal purple blue. Much
like that of Oregon's Holly Blue agate. Ellensburg Blue Agate is usually
layered and Clouds, streaks, or bands may form in the stone. This gem
also graduates from nearly transparent to opaque.
