As a beach combing south shore of the real Lake Superior agate hunter, most 'Lake Superior agates' never saw the lake. The 'standard' red and blue bands are rarely found on the beach anymore.
My favorite find was also lost again, a beautiful yellow eye agate. The last great find was a white agate left laying on top of the beach, passed over by many other combers that Saturday. Big as my thumb. Most agate pickers want to find the beautiful red/blue banding they see in a gift shop, mined on the north shore, and don't know the real deal. I set back many small solid red agates.
All agates are beautiful to me. But I cannot describe how they are made. I do not believe the earth is billions of years old. I thank God for the beauty of his creation.
