Walker Ranch Flower Agate

Alpine, Texas is an area where many agate types are found and you can go to one of the private ranches and pay a fee to collect them. Walker Ranch was one of them and is where this rough came from. The Walker Ranch is located on Highway 118 south of Alpine, and it shares a fence-line with the famous, Woodward Ranch.  The Bird Hills, home of the red plume agate for which the area is famous, cross through the Walker Ranch from the Northwest to the Southeast.  Walker Ranch has the same materials that were found on the Woodward Ranch, but in greater abundance. Check out the little red berries/flowers in the close-up.
