Dwarves'
Earth Treasures Museum: Ansi Agates
Ansi/Sidi Rahal, Morocco, Africa
I'm not sure if I got the location correct for this
type of agates due to the face that the agate & amethyst bearing basalt
beds cover a very large area from Sidi Rahal to Ansi. The area is mined
mainly for amethyst geodes with unsusual structures within and the solid
nodules (agates) tend to be ignored. The agates are quite unusual for they
tend to contain red stalacitic agates with irregular gray bandings extending
to one side. Red, lavendar, white and gray are the typical colors, and
some nodules are known to contain some pseudomorphs and sagenite structures..
