reddish, green, pink, blue, and yellow from transparent to opaque. Today, many of
these stones are artificially dyed to enhance the depth of color and to produce more
vivid tones than those found in nature. The stone in this pendant is not dyed and
shows the dramatic coloring found in Montana agates.

all colors of the rainbow, although green and blue are quite rare.
