Why is Laguna Agate so expensive and can it be tumbled?

It’s expensive because it’s hard to get and it’s beautiful. It can be tumbled. I’ve tumbled some, turns out great.

The days of surface collecting Lagunas are long gone. Hard rock mining with heavy equipment these days. Heck though, Lagunas were expensive when I first started rock collecting back in the 1950s. If you adjust for inflation, it's probably cheaper now than then, cause 2-3$ per pound was a lot of money in those days.
