.	Dwarves' Earth Treasures Museum: Wavehill Agates Wavehill Station, Northwest Territory, Australia	.

    If they thought that Agate Creek site is remote, the Wavehill Station is even more remote in Northwest Territory, making it harder to obtain the agates from there. Most agates there are heavily fractured with peeling bands as a result of weathering, but some good specimens have came out of them. Typically, they consist of interlaying quartz and agate with the agates being white to pink, sometimes with red hues. The sagenite and quartz (sometimes geodes) nodules are more resistance to weathering. I think the large specimens were available only in older collectoin, but I wonder if there are any better agates can be found by digging deeper, closer to the basalt beds YOU CAN CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO SEE LARGER PICTURES Rough Appearance: Pinkish to rusty nodules with peeling bands, bands usually exposed.
Most especially larger speicmens are mostly quartz and heavily fractured.

Outstanding specimen!	Outstanding specimen!
I'm still trying to decide whether to give it a curvative polish face or not.	I wish that this great specimen doesn't have some fracture.
