CALIFORNIA AGATES

Included here are examples of agates collected from various locations in southern California. Almost all  I collected myself, except for a couple that were given to me from friends.

I have tried to represent the colors of the agates as accurately as possible. The unpolished ones are shown wet, & where I have had to adjust the colors to correct for bad lighting or shiny surfaces, I kept them as faithful to the originals as I possibly could
