Title: Botryoidal agate found in Inver Grove Heights, MN
Post by: EmeraldEyes on September 04, 2019, 03:39:37 AM

A friend of mine who does landscaping work found this and knows how much I love agates. I did a clean up on this and took pictures in afternoon sunlight. I have another botryoidal agate but in the years I have been collecting agates I have rarely seen these. Does anyone live in Minnesota that knows more about these agates?   :thumbsup:

 *** Note: I will post two more pictures of different sides to the agate in a second post due to size restrictions

Pretty agate and looks to have a pink hue to it and some inclusions.  I always enjoy Botryoidal agates.
