This is an gorgeous Botswana agate. It has amazing parallax all the way around it with an apparent inflow/escape tube and two pink centers which is highly desirable in a Botswana. Under magnification you can see four healed fractures and the edge at the end of the tube is lower than the face and is not polished. The black skin on this makes it look very dramatic. It has a mirror polish.

This is a beautiful Laguna agate from Mexico. It has the classic banding found in Lagunas with deep tight banding in a polycentric formation with eyes and red microspheres throughout and it's a floater. Bands are created in fibrous silica by both positive and negative ions repelling against each other to form these amazing bands seen best under magnification. There are a couple of healed fractures around the edges that do not interfere with the agate formation.
