[agatesfrommexico]

Mexican agates didn't earn their reputation by accident — they're genuinely the most structurally complex banded agates on Earth. While other regions produce beautiful specimens, Mexican varieties developed under unique geological conditions that created impossibly intricate fortification patterns and color combinations you won't find anywhere else. What sets them apart? The banding density. Some specimens pack over 100 distinct bands per inch, each representing a separate deposition event. The microcrystalline quartz formed in volcanic cavities under rapidly changing chemical conditions, creating those signature tight, angular fortifications that collectors prize above all others.

Some echinoid on the rocks : )

Sometimes with clearly seen pattern or star linings, and sometimes round natural polished.
