I am from the great state of Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes. Here are some pictures I have taken of its beauty. The rocks are Lake Superior Agates, only found around here in Minnesota. (sometimes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa) They were formed in the air pockets of cooled molten lava and filled with rich mineral water that left left behind iron, quartz, calcite and other minerals. This is the result, enjoy!
very intresting stuff, my babygirl and me appreciated it.

Beautiful agates! I lived in Oregon for quite a while and we had tons of agates on the coast there, lava flows from central Oregon made it to the coast a long time ago and as the ocean erodes the basalt outcropping the agates are exposed and tumbled by the waves. Pretty much works like a natural rock tumbler LOL. We ended up with so many agates that we used them like gravel in our garden walkways.
