Agate Creek (Queenland) Agates
Agate Creek, Queenland Province, Australia
 .
   You must have a "fossicking" license to dig for those small agates in a really remote semi-arid area in Northern Queenland, Australia!  Most agates come in small sizes, (larger ones are more scarce) and come in quite a variety of strong colors especially red, yellow, white, blue, orange, and pink. The agates seem to be as if they come in three color combos: blue-gray & red ones (most common), yellow & red ones, and weathered pink & white "porcelain".
    Most agate roughs I obtained seem to be commonly fractured, but it was said that better agates can be obtained by digging bit deeper. Even so, it's very difficult to obtain any unsorted roughs (best pieces not taken out by miners/dealers) dug from underground.  Best Agate Creek rough still remains elusive as typical of popular types of agates.
