Translucent Montana Agate — Yellowstone River, Seven Sisters — The Glow

We were working the bar at Seven Sisters on the Yellowstone River. Janyce was upstream from me. I heard her yell — "Wow, honey, look at this one glow in the sun." I walked over and put it straight in the plastic grocery bag.

Bad idea. The bag broke on the way back to the car. We had to hound them all back up off the bar.

We got home and laid it in the Victorian filigree back from the 13-pack. It fit. We resined it in and left it alone. The setting suits it — old and warm, like the stone.

Set in an antique silver Victorian filigree pendant back.
