This is one of my favorite finds. Small, yet beautiful.
I believe this is an unpolished or naturally polished yellow agate with quarts crystal in the middle. It's not always easy identifying the type of agate and I am still learning.
Lake Superior Agates are very popular and I love collecting them. The main attraction to agates is the obvious beautiful bands that are formed in the rock. Most of the worlds agates are developed by ancient volcanic lava. In other words, the rock in the picture above has been tumbling around for about a billion years, at one point I'm sure it was much larger, breaking apart over time and finally making it to the shoreline and into my hand. Every storm brings new agates to the shoreline to snag.
