Dwarves' Earth Treasures Museum:
"Fuego Neuva"Agates
(Also referred as "New Coyamitos" but I don't approve of that name)
near Aqua Nueva Ranch, Chihuahua State, Mexico
        I came across what may be new type of agate coming from Mexico at Deming show and they weren't named yet. Supposedly, I was the first person to buy some of the rough and I didn't buy much because I don't know how good they are. Well, it turns out that the new agates are better than expected.
    The agates are generally light blue to dull brownish-yellow colors, occasionally with brighter yellow and orange colors, sometimes red. Some agates came out with mixed colors.  I'd like to refer those new agates as "Fuego Neuva" (New Fire) Agates (I suggested the name to Ramon's family) since they were found near Agua Nueva mine. They seem to be similar to Lake of Fire agates and larger grayish-blue "Blue Agua Nueva" agates but they're larger and way less colorful. They were passed as "New Coyamitos" once even I I personally don't approve of that trade-name especially since we have new coyamito agates being brought to the market from the Japanese Bed claim sited on Rancho del Coyamito.
