This polished Laguna Agate is from the Alianza Claim. It is a colorful example of the amazing stones that come out of Mexico! In natural lighting it looks brownish along the edges and you notice the red ribbon surrounding the solid crystals in the center. But when you focus a light on it, the reddish-brown edge thins out and the bands of blue, yellows and peach become visible! It even appears to have a little chromatography in one corner (as I understand, simply, that means - color change in the agate that does not follow the normal colors in the bands). It has flaws along one edge, visible in the photos, plus what looks like light scratches, but those are not visible to me in-hand, even under lighting. It measures over 3 3/4" x 1 5/8" on the face x up to 2" thick. The weight is 7.4 ounces (211 grams). It is a unique specimen for collectors of agates.

[2]This is a beautiful, small 'baby' Laguna Agate. The slicing of the stone cut through the face of a nice size eye of a tube, and if you rock the stone slightly back and forth you can detect a little parallax as well (parallax is a shadow effect, as if one can see it in 3D, down into the stone). It measures 2 1/2" x roughly 1 to 1 1/2" at the wider points, and a little over 1/2" thick. The weight is 42.6 grams, or 1.5 ounces. It's a very neat small collectable display piece.

[Slight angle] [Closer shot] [Close-up] [Another close-up] [Size comparison] [Back side]This is a polished slice from a Coyamito Agate from Chihuahua, Mexico. A beautiful amber-colored fortification ribbon around the edge of this beauty, with a slight hint of parallax in one area. It is open at the top but from the back side, you can see it is lightly connected on the back. It has a polish on both sides, but the edge has been left natural (except the bottom area where the rock was chipped into when digging it out). It is roughly 3" x 2" and 6-7 mm thick, weighing 219 carats, or 44 grams (1.5 ounces). This would make a stunning focal point as a large necklace, but equally as awesome just as a specimen. First Class shipping available upon request.
