Item Description
Laguna agates are generally considered to be the finest Mexican agates and arguably the finest in the world. They are very highly desirable and sliced and polished nodule pairs are not that common, as individual slabs can sell for more. The pattern and form of the beautiful color-banding on this dramatic, sliced and polished quartz variety chalcedony (trade name Laguna Agate) nodule pair is striking. The vibrant shades of blue, purple and red are indeed beautiful! The starkly contrasting calcite in the center is rare. A very fine and uncommon matched pair with fine red centers. Ex Dave Stoudt Collection. Valued at $500.
