This full agate is to be cut in the following days.
We hope that it will be a "pastel" type agate.
Will let you know!

All these pictures were shot during March 2007 , some rough agates can be seen here , and some of them have been cut and polished. A very high % has been discarded because we found the m low grade quality.

These agates have been carefully selected; they are the result of cutting hundreds of kilos and discarding hundreds more!

This is the result of more than 20 trips to Patagonia and THOUSANDS of kilometers , broken wind-shields and three Toyota trucks. :'(
