Fossickers have been travelling to this remote location for generations and there is still many many agates to be found. The full sprectum of colour can be found in these wonderful agates. This particular agate has a nice soft blue colour and I think it will make an excellent carving. I can see an animal crouched in there, like a little mouse.

Could even make a really nice cabochon.
