Round Mtn. "Pink" Agates
Foothills of Round Mtn., south of Duncan, Arizona
 .
    AThe Round Mountain BLM Rockhound area is actually better known for its Fire Agates and as a result, there are scarce mentions of "pink agates" coming from the area in most books. After having obtained some "Pink Agate" rough, reseach and explorations had been carried in an attempt to locate the exact source of the pink agates somewhere at the eastern foothills of Engine/Round Mountains south of Duncan, just off the Az/NM border. The basalt beds are quite widespread, all the way to Black Hills and Mulligan Peak and many locations along the basalt beds are rich in chalcedony (pink, white, brown, yellow) with some coming with "Fire Agates" features. As of March 2009, the site finally has been located where I have found four pink agates and continued to find some more afterward.
    The agates are typically clear to white often with "waterlines" features and a small percentage of those agates will produce varying pink to lavendar colors. The interesting feature of those agates is that each band of the agates are not solid, but instead, heavily dotted (or spherical in some cases). Some agates with black, orange, yellow and red plumes had been found there.
