indoagate.com/Was browsing the web after reading a post here about indonesian agate and came across the one above. It is full of interesting reading, both in the detail of the agate information (hunting, mining, use) and the types of agates found. The purple is incredible. Besides that there are tube agates, fossil palm, beautiful banded nodules. There is also a tantalizing hint that they might supply material, but the link to the cabochon website isn't working. Take a peak. Lowell

Cool site. That feather agate would cut some interesting cabs. So would the bumble bee agate. But at present costs, it would all be best as specimens in the display cabinet. Don
