Kentucky Agates
Estill, Powell and parts of Jackson Counties, Kentucky
 .
 .    Kentucky is known for its agate & quartz concretions which appeared to be originally crinoid heads, brachipods and other fossils in the limestone that had been expanded by growing evaporation minerals and water action. They seem to be not easy to obtain, and since they were found mostly along the rivers coming from the limestone formations, they tend to be fractured. The most common colors appear to be brownish-yellow, yellow, and bluish-gray, but they also come in the colors of gray, black, purple, pink, lavendar, green and red. A most desired color combination would be pitch black and deep red. The mult-banded agates appear to be retatively rare.
