    AAqua Nueva agates sometimes passed as "New Lagunas" due to their similar appearance to the Laguna Agates as well as the fact that they were found just north of the Laguna agate sites. They come in two forms, nodular and vein forms with mossy structures. The vein and large nodules had been heavily mined and borken into clunks that is suitable only or cabbing, and rarely specimens. It is the greenish  mossy structure that often give some agates the multiple "Eye" structures that the Aqua Nueva Agates are renowned for. The wide banded with pink, purple, lavendar and white are typical of the Aqua Nueva agates while black, yellow and red colors are more desired.

Can be confused with Laguna Agates except that Aqua Nueva Agates have wider spaced bands and more green moss structures.
