Dwarves' Earth Treasures Museum: Laguna Agates
La Alianza Claim, Estacion Ojo Laguna, Chihuahua Pro.,

Laguna Agates are most famous and prized of all agates around the world
for their good sizes, wide variety of vivid colors, numbers of bands per
specimen, shadowy effects, and anything else that makes them so desirable.
The white color is most common color of any laguna agates. Other common
colors are pink, lavendar, red, gray, and orange, but they do come
in any colors(green is rarest of all) and any combinations of different
colors (more desirable).
La Alianza claim, one of three
active Laguna Agate claims, produces the agates very similar to those of
the Conejeros claim, but they seem to tend to be less colorful (have seen
only few of them so far). White, lavendar, purple and gray are most common
colors, and shadowing effects are pretty strong in the agates from that
claim.
Rough Appearance: Rounded and irregular shaped nodules with greenish
to reddish coating and crumbly red basalt.
