Gobi Desert of Mongolia & China |
|
There are several locations
around Gobi Desert of Northern
China and Mongolia that produce various types of
agates. As typical
of the agates found the windy deserts, the surface
of the rough was smoothed
from so many centuries of sand carrying winds
("sandblasting") that they're
quite hard to hold while grinding/polishing. Most
agates are clear or colorless and some comes with
inclusions, banding and plumes. I'm not seeing any
fresh supply of Gobi Desert agates lately.. |
