.	Dwarves' Earth Treasures Online Rock Shop: Casas Grandas Agates Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico	.

    The agates of Casas Grandes and Parcelas tend to be very similar in cut/polish appearance that they sometimes can be confused for each other. I wasn't even sure which is Casas Grandes or Parcelas until I finally got a pail of true Casas Grandes Agates. It is common to find Casas Grandes that is white to gray with "snow" dots in them, with many of them being hollow, but there had been a number of agates coming with the color of pink, blue, lavender, yellow, orange and purple. What distinguishes the Casas Grandes Agates from Parcelas Agates is that Casas Grandes Agates tend to look bit more "rusty" (yellowish) while Parcelas Agates coming with more reddish skins. Those agates are one of few oldest agates mined in Northern Mexico (1955), but ever since, there had been some sparse mining of those agates due to the fact that they have to work on the hard andesite bedrock to get at the agates as well as the fact that about 75% of the nodules contain nothing but siberite (brown "calcite").  I do not know if I will ever be able to get any more Casas Grandas Agates in the future.
