Mexican Agates are some of our very favorite stones - the awesome Laguna Agates, Coyamito and Agua Nueva Agates are top on our list. However, there are numerous other Mexican Agates that also have amazing beauty, such as the Moctezumas, Parcelas Agates, and the Crazy Lace stones. Below are some of the beautiful stones we've had pass through our hands. Some of these may still be available for sale, others not. But we hope you enjoy looking at these beauties.

[Another angle (this is how it faces sitting on a surface)] [Closer shot] [Another close-up] [Another close-up] [The back]This is a polished Coyamito Agate nodule with gorgeous patterns and colors in it - from the pale peachy-pink crystal area, it is surrounded by a swirling golden ribbon, and then extends off in directions with reds and purples and even another small area of peach! It is about 5" x 3 1/2" on the face and sits at an angle as the back tapers from about 1/2" up to 2 1/4". It weighs 495 grams, or 1.2 pounds. The fracture lines are clearly visible in the photos, but they are much less noticeable when looking at it naturally. To me, it is an amazing, wonderful specimen!

It is polished flat up to the edge of the rough rock on the one side. The rest of the rock is the natural, unpolished specimen, including a most impressive display of a druse-covered, botryoidal-shaped, crystal cavity! The specimen is 9 1/2" long x 3 3/4 to 5" wide, and 1 1/2 to 3" thick. It weighs 5 lbs, 3.5 ounces (2.37 kg).

[On lighter background] [Side one] [Side two] [Close-up] [Close-up other side] [Nodule shot]This is both sides of a polished Laguna Agate nodule, though it is possible it is actually an Agua Nueva. Either way, a stunning pair! It was one of an old collection we acquired of uncut Mexican Agates. The lavendar crystals are framed by a cranberry ribbon with delicate dabbings of moss in it. Both sides are each roughly 2 1/4" x 1 1/8" at their wider points and 17-18 mm thick. Together they weigh 71 grams, or 2.5 ounces. Totally awesome pieces for any collection!

Parcelas Agate
Domed Parcelas Agate Nodule - It's Snowing!
This is a Parcelas Agate nodule, domed on the top, the rough nodule on the back. These agates come from near where Laguna Agates are collected, and are often filled with little 'snowy' flakes! It measures roughly 1 3/4" x 1 1/2" and tapers from the sides to center up to 13 mm. It weighs 25 grams, or 9/10 of an ounce. Please note that the coloring is whiter than it appears in the further away shots. A very neat specimen to add to any collection.
