Agua Nueva Agate Rough - blue and pink fortification nodule - high-grade Mexican agate
This high-grade nodule of Agua Nueva shows awesome blue fortification surrounded by pink fortification. I expect the fortification will likely cut all the way through the nodule. It should make a really neat high-grade specimen.

Agua Nueva Agate is impressive material from Mexico near the Laguna Agate mining area. While it can sometimes have fortification, it's more commonly high-contrast, well-defined moss agate. The material tends to be fairly hard and solid, taking a mirror polish for exceptional jewelry. Agua Nueva translates to "New Water" agate and comes from the Agua Nueva Ranch.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL Blue fortification ringed by pink that should run through the whole nodule, a high-grade cutter and specimen.
