Welcome! These are all agates that I own. Most I purchased at various rock shows or auctions. The eye agate I found myself (<a href="http://www.davidenglundphotography.com/gallery/2144594_KhVPu/1/#117166340_G8tEM-A-LB">see #28</a>). Most are Lake Superior agates ("Lakers"), but there are also Luguna, Dryhead, Fairburn, Botswana, and Brazil agates here. Don't miss the original sizes that are available for many of these images. Change to the "Critique" Style, and then under "Other sizes" click on the capital "O". Enjoy! NOTE: For purposes of online presentation colors of agate specimens may be a bit more saturated than in reality. Did you know that God likes agates too? Besides the obvious (one who makes something so beautiful must of himself also enjoy it) we find in the Bible that God says part of the foundation of the walls of his heavenly city will be of agate (see <a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Revelation+21%3A19">Revelation 21:19</a>). Don't just glory in the rock, glory in the one who made it - <a href="http://www.daveenglund.name/dblog/becoming-a-christian-a-qu.html">Becoming a Christian - A Quest for Joy</a>.<br /><br /> http://dbe.smugmug.com/Nature/Geology/Agates-Only/CRW1500-copy/116079120_amyVX-Ti.jpg http://dbe.smugmug.com/gallery/2144594_KhVPu/ 2006-12-16T08:31:15Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
