India used to produce great quantities of agate for
thousands of years and exported to Arabia and Asia, but now there're not
much left. It's rare to find any good ones from India beside "Black/Yellow
Skin" agates (also marketed as just "Indian Agates" and Tree Agates. I
have cut some agates from India and most of them are just blank and dull
but there had been few surprises. The typical colors of Indian agates are
black, yellow, gray and brown, and with the rough appearance of having
been been weathered and tumbled in the rivers. They seem to have been brought
to North America in large quantities without any info on the sources, and
I'm not sure why. That could be because some of them have dentrites that
reveal those of Montana Agates.
