Nueva agates sometimes called "New Lagunas" are found near the Laguna agate
sites, hence, similar rough appearances but usually bigger. They tend to
come in form of large mossy veins and lace-type clunks, and it's hard to
get a whole pattern out of those clunks. The moss structures are light
green and often can make the banding patterns more interesting especially
the "eyes" structures as a result of cutting horizontally through the stalacitic
moss structures. It is relatively rare to find any whole nodules consisting
of full patterned agates. Pink, purple, lavendar and white are the typical
colors of Aqua Nueva agates while black, yellow and red colors are more
desired.
