Lake Superior Agate Close Ups

When I sorted the 200 pounds of raw Lake Superior agates that I recently purchased, I separated a few that I thought would be candidates for getting some USB microscope camera photos.  Last night I pulled out the camera and played with the agates.

Rough carnelian husk....



Tubes....


Limonite coated detail...


Chromatography stained agate bands....


Chalcedony bands intertwined with macro quartz bands, along with some peeler action....




This agate husk has a bit of everything....


Iron oxide inclusions....
