Hello agate collectors : :)
I am new to this group and would like to share pictures of my agate collection from Argentina.
All agates are collected during long trips by Claudia (my wife) and myself (Ricardo)
This agate was found in a gravel pit alongside "Rio Uruguay" Argentinian Border.
I hope to post a lot more!!
Greetings from far away Argentina!! :) :)
Ricardo & Claudia Birnie

Map of Argentina showing the division of the Patagonian Region with the rest of the Country.
The line in fucsia color , shows the "Rio Colorado" which divides the Patagonian Region from the rest of the Country. This is where we find the "Patagonian Agates". It has been very often said that the "Condor" type agates become from this Region , which is not true. "Condor" type agates , become from "Mendoza" Province near "San Rafael " City.
