Hi Claudia and Ricardo,
welcome to the Mineralienatlas. Your agates are pretty nice, and we would like to see more pictures in the future.
At the time we work in our lexicon on a separate agate category.
http://www.mineralienatlas.de/lexikon/index.php/Achat
It´s just a beginning and we need pictueres and informations about the localitys. If you agree, we like to use some of your pictures for the lexikon in future.
Unfortunately it´s in german language, but if you have questions don´t hesitate to ask me. If you like with a personal message.
As you can see, my english is not very well, but i think it´s enough to agree.
But please, grand a request. We need the exact locality for the pieces. Not the GPS datas, but a little bit more than the country.

Dear Ralf :
Thanks for your warm wellcome.
Of course , you can use our pictures for the Lexicon.
Your English is perfectly understandable.
There are some pictures of our last trip to the Patagonian Region (March 2007) we would like to share with the forum. Shall we post them here?
All our best wishes from far away Argentina!!

Hallo Achat- Sammler
Meine Frau hat damit begonnen, s. g. "Landschafts-Achate" zu sammeln.
Seltsamerweise finde ich hier nichts darüber :-\

Hallo Wilhelm
Das kommt noch.
Landschaftsachate sind auch nicht so häufig.Im Lexikon werden diese noch ihren Platz finden.Immer dabei bleiben.

These agates have been carefully selected; they are the result of cutting hundreds of kilos and discarding hundreds more! :o :o
This is the result of more than 20 trips to Patagonia and THOUSANDS of kilometers , broken wind-shields and three Toyota trucks. :P :'( >:(

Hello , Roland .
No ,we don´t have agates from "San Rafael" from those sources. This year it was really difficult to get there due to extreme weather conditions (Very very low temperatures) And most of all Volcano ashes everywhere, including Buenos Aires (City also).
Fortunately for us , the ashes went mostly North and we could take a flight to the South. We were very lucky to fly when there was a gap of flying conditions.We have agates from "La Manea" , "El Sombrero" and some from the surroundings of "Berwyn".
Getting ready for Mineralientage Munchen.
All our best!
Ricardo & Claudia. :)
