Hello all! So I found a few of these agates today called Red Lightning Agate from Mexico. Dry, they are kind of unimpressive. Wet, it's so very wow! I think I understand the Red Lightning name, red so bright it's shocking! Had to share, for you agate lovers and rock lovers out there. Hope you like! ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1718670335/UahEasIAQo-6wM7XEM44lQ_zefcfl.jpg) ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1718670355/4EhvsA07TlehSprFE286ig_k7dbgq.jpg)

I’ve never seen this before, or heard of it. It’s beautiful! Red is my favorite color. Thanks!

That is bright! Is it me or does some of it look orange?

Pat - Thank you lady! I'm glad I posted it since you weren't familiar with it chris1956 - You're right! Seems like orange, or yellowish orange? That's why I took that one zoomed in, I thought it had some really "dimensional" color, if there is such a thing. Depth? I don't know the right rock terms.

That's really red! I can't wait to see it finished. Looks almost like a crazy lace. Not quite crazy, but nuts for sure, the line between the two is blurred.... Anyway, really cool find!
