The basalt beds around Luna,
New Mexico have produced several similar types of agates
passed as just "Luna Agates" which leads to the confusion
with purple colored Luna Agate from Mexico. They tend to be
found in large sizes under the blanket of pine needles. Most
are fractured, and come in the colors of white, gray, and
faint blue/lavender and I have yet to hear anything about
colors. I get an impression that they may have formed the
similar way the Big Diggin Agates did which the agate fill
in the irregular gaps lined with calcite. The Luna Agates
appeared to have already weathered out out of the basalt
beds and what remained of calcite are their crystal
impressions on the agates.
