MEXICAN AGATES

Included here are a few pieces from my Mexican agate collection. Since I have never been able to personally collect in Mexico, all of these were purchased, except the ones that were gifts or trades.  Some of these are rough, some are slabs, and some are cabs that I've cut and polished.

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
