Laguna Agate with Druze Quartz Center (A)

Laguna Agate, a translucent variety of chalcedony from the mountains of Ojo Laguna in Chihuahua, Mexico, is prized for its exceptional color banding and fine detail.

This specimen features defined, multicolored layers surrounding a small druze quartz center, with the face polished to reveal its intricate patterning.

Laguna agates are among the most sought-after in the world, admired for their tight banding—sometimes exceeding a hundred layers per square inch—and the parallax effect that gives depth and movement to the stone.
