QUE102JR Agate Creek Agate Specimen

Agate Creek Agate comes from the premier locality for agates in Australia. This polished specimen has a waxy outer exterior in red-orange, with banded agate in red, orange, and yellow. The bands show strong parallax and two quartz pockets in the middle.  6cm x 3.5cm polished surface 4.1cm thick 4.3oz Agate Creek Agate, also commonly called Queensland Agate, comes from an area in the north of Queensland, Australia, where several creeks come to a head. Naturally weathered agates can be found in gravel beds or soil fields, and several deposits produce nodules through hand-digging.
