Here we have some Mexican agates. Bought these from the Gem Shop Inc. I went there three times this year, a three hour drive but worth it. I suggest anyone within a reasonable distance should visit their shop. Lots of nice material especially if your a cutter. The front of the shop has a lot of fine finished rocks and specimens. Then in the basement and back yard bins and barrels of rough to pick through.
The first six pics are Coyamito Agate.
1. This one is in almost every pic. used to prop up the rest.

2. No outstanding features in these two. They will get cut in half someday.

The rest are either Agua Nueva or Laguna Agate. I thought I started these in separate rough barrels but somehow managed to get them mixed up. Color was so similar I don't know which are which.
