Hello everyone,

I have for your viewing enjoyment a couple of photo's of some stones that I have finished. Some are new and some are old ... hope you enjoy.

This is PomPom Agate at it's finest. Bright orangeish-yellow "pompom's" on a vivid green filament.

This is Laguna Agate. It comes from Mexico and it's gorgeous material! The colors of Laguna Agate are as broad as the color spectrum.

This is Coyamito Agate and it too comes from Mexico. I have recently purchased a very big collection of some very nice Northern Mexico Agates. Actually it is one of the finest I have seen in many years.

I have Casa Grande, Coyamito, Laguna, Parcelas, Apache, Moctezuma, Mesquite and many other agates from the Northern Mexico area. Many are finished pairs, and there are some that were slabbed through half of the stone (so the slabs match the end cut piece) and unfinished pairs and singles alike. Some of these are absolutely spectacular and many of them have very nice parallax.

Many of these are being offered on eBay, so if you would like to see the many different ones that are being offered ... here is a quick link to get you started:

Well, I hope you enjoy the photo's!

John

That Pompom Agate is just beautiful, is that from Mexico too? How come they have all those great banded stones down there?!! Cher
