Love digging these things and bringing their beauty to light. Basically rhyolite nodules filled with wild agate, tertiary age(30 million years old), Found in volcanic flows in south New Mexico

I call this the Superman egg,, for some reason. This comes from the north end of the colored agate belt that extends deep into Mexico.

Are any of these wonderful specimens Enhydrous?
Exquisite colors and such obscure patterns.
Thank you for bringing these to us to enjoy. MORE, MORE, MORE!
Holding them must be delightful.
Do you ever take the cut off and cab any of them?
