Included here are examples of agates and jaspers that I feel are a pretty good cross-section of some of the better varieties of material that can be found in the state of New Mexico, most of which I personally field collected. The pieces that come from public locations are named, all others are from private locations. Specimens that are unpolished are shown wet to better show their colors.
When collecting in New Mexico I tend to focus on finding fortification, snowflake, and tube agates.
New pictures will be added in no particular order. Hopefully, as the gallery grows, all you crazy agate lovers out there will find my collection as interesting and beautiful as I do. Periodically I will include pieces that aren’t agate or jasper, but are noteworthy enough in their own way to be included here.
Enjoy!
