Those are all beautiful Steve! I especially like the Laguna with pseudomprphs. Do you ever go to Quartzsite or Tucson for the shows?

Impressive specimens!!! I just found a tiny agate in an otherwise empty box, from an estate I got around 1992 or 93 but I guess I never opened this box, and I wonder if it is also a Laguna or some other Mexican material. I haven't had the chance to polish it up, but I photo'd both sides wet, so maybe you can tell me? These are showing way bigger than life, it's about as long across as a U.S. quarter, and the red speckles weren't something I immediately noticed until I took the photos.

Thanks Everyone! You all make me so Happy to share my Agates. Those hammers get in the way sometmes! Agategirl...Never been to Tucson or Quartzite. One of these days though. Peachfront...definitely a Laguna. I cut a bunch of nodules today again and out of about 30 nodules...I scored a jackpot on about 5 of them. I LOVE these Agates! Steve

Steve you have the most wonderful selection of Agates. Those are awesome and the thumb has lots of color as well. That had to hurt! I love that Coyamito Agate, but they are all quite a show.
