Those agates were found in an arid and
windy area of
Chubut Province, Argentina where the blown sand naturally
polished
the rough surface of the agate nodules ("Sandblasting") that
it can be
quite hard to grip them while grinding/polishing them. The
typical agate
is colorless and banded while some agates have been found
with pink, red, orange
and yellow colors sometimes in interesting color combos. El
Sombrero Agates are similar to Berwyn Agates but
distinguished by their strong red skins.
