A beautiful agate necklace that features pendant highlights a striking yellow and butterscotch color palette paired with classic translucent chalcedony banding. While Kentucky agates are widely famous for their dramatic black and fiery red combinations, vibrant yellow and gold variations are highly prized by regional rockhounds and lapidary artists.
These unique stones are primarily collected in east-central Kentucky—most famously throughout Estill County, as well as parts of Powell and Jackson counties. They originated hundreds of millions of years ago inside Mississippian-age limestone formations before weathering out into local creek beds and river gravels.
