[agatesfrommexico]

Tight concentric lavender and blush-pink banding spirals into a tiny druzy quartz-lined center canal — the rind is fully intact with a deep amber cortex edged in white druzy quartz. Clean halve cut, about 1.1 inches across, 19.8g. At $1,500 this is priced for someone who knows exactly what they're looking at. 🪨

Most agate hunters spend years before finding one piece that stops them cold. The geology has to be right, the weathering has to expose the nodule, and you have to be there at exactly that moment before someone else is. That ratio of searching to finding is what makes each good piece matter. Read more at the link.

Nice Laguna half with clean white to gray concentric banding and those characteristic dark outer zones with rust inclusions. The polish brings out subtle translucency in the fine layers, and you can see the natural flow patterns where the silica deposited. This one found a good collector! 🏔️

Lavender and amber banding in a wild, scalloped pattern — the iron-stained rind is still raw on the edges while the interior shows tight wave banding collapsing toward a white chalcedony center. Those raised botryoidal bubbles along the lavender zone are the highlight. Raw half, 43g, $400. 🪨

Bold red-orange fortification bands frame a wide lavender center with tight, even layering throughout — the contrast is sharp and clean. Small natural vugg at the core shows raw chalcedony rather than druzy. Polished face is flat and clear, rind fully intact. 🔴

Tight fortification banding in soft lavender and blush pink wraps a broad chalcedony center — that angular, almost pentagonal inner zone is the standout. Rind is left fully intact with classic speckled matrix. Clean polish on the face shows off the parallax depth nicely. 🪨
