Oregon Agate: Cutting Open Sagenite

sag·​e·​nite. ˈsajəˌnīt. plural -s. : a mineral consisting of an acicular rutile that occurs in reticulated forms and is often embedded in quartz or other minerals. Once in awhile I find some sagenite while rockhounding in Oregon. I cut some sagenite open to reveal the beauty inside.

Rockhounding, prospecting, rock hunting, stone collecting - call it what you will, it all boils down to one thing: getting outside and exploring the great outdoors. And nothing beats rockhounding in the Pacific Northwest, especially in the beautiful state of Oregon. It's a passion of mine to hunt for unique stones and bring them to life through crafting. There's something truly special about uncovering the beauty of newly discovered materials and turning them into works of art, jewelry, and other crafts. From agates to jasper, sagenite to crystals, quartz to opal, and even petrified wood, Oregon offers a wealth of minerals to collect. So, let's get outdoors, hunt some rocks, and create something beautiful together
