Product Details

Slaughter Mountain, located on the San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona, produces some of the world's most highly prized fire agate. Known for its brilliant, iridescent flashes of red, green, and gold, this old-stock material is highly sought after by collectors and jewelers. Because the deposits are located on protected Native American tribal land, public rockhounding is strictly prohibited, and legal mining is limited to members of the San Carlos Apache Tribe. The Commercial Lease Era (Ended in the Late 1980s): For decades, the San Carlos Apache Tribe leased the mining rights of Slaughter Mountain to outside commercial miners. The most famous operator was legendary gem collector Bob Beaudry, who legally mined the site extensively during the mid-to-late 20th century. ---Core Metaphysical Properties--- *Extreme Grounding and Protection *Igniting Passion and Creativity *Boosting Confidence and Manifestation *Emotional Balance and Healing **Disclaimer: Crystal healing and metap
