- These are basically the most natural detailed pieces of art. Wonderfully we locate them just lying around on the ground. Virtually everywhere in the world has some variety and also this vast dispersment makes possible a great union for collectors of the world.
- Types are so numerous and unique that when mixed with earths weathering influence we get unlimited visual possibilities. Wild color changes amidst stunning geometric desings are the real eye catchers. However the phenominal scientific intricasies are my personal draw/
- Which to buy? I tried to get one of each kind so as to see them in person. A wide group are availible on auctions as well there are some super books like "The Beauty of Banded Agates" which is a real visual thriller. Some helpful info is also included. I recomend a few specimens and a couple books to open the door. Then by far the most important tool you need is go out and find one!
- For a few search starters: Fortification, Fairburn, Laguna, Lake Superior, Condor, Coyamito ..........Agate.
- Web sites: superagates.com and beautifulagates.com are just a couple and they have easy links to many other great places.
