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 it is common for them to come 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 some came 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 it would nice to see another mining expedition to get better specimen.
