La Manea
agates may be considered one of more colorful agates of
Argentina since they came in a wide variety of colors such
as red, blue, orange, yellow, purple, brown and black and
often come with color combos. The distinguishing
characteristics of the agates are their gray and gritty
exterior surface and silicified mud/debris at the bottom
when cut the right-up way. Strong shadowing effects have
been noted in some agates. There had been a lot of digging
and supposedly, the source is exhausted. We don't have many
people who are willing to spend so much money visiting the
remote parts of Patagonia of Argentina to collect the agates
there.
Rough appearance:
The gray nodules have gritty texture and tend to contain
silicified mud/debris at the bottom of the nodules when
cut.
Some agates are found on surface will come with weathered
pastel colors.
