Dwarves' Earth Treasures Museum: El Sueco Agates
El Sueco, Chihuahua Province, Mexico
.
I El Sueco
Agates were collected from the weathered deposits (few from the bedrock
itself) near El Sueco, and they usually come in small sizes. Some El Sueco
Agates were found to contain pseudomorphs (after aragonite) and sagenite(after
zeolites) structures. The most common colors are tan, brown, yellow and
colorless, but they also come in red, pink, and lavendar colors, sometimes
in bright color combos. El Sueco Agates appeared to have produced a high
rate of Iris (Rainbow) Agates. There may be still more yet to be collected,
and I'm hoping for any further mining efforts.
