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. It can occasionally have fractures but generally yields workable slabs for cabochons, and is becoming increasingly difficult to source in high-quality material with vivid moss.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
A great moss showing at a budget-friendly price makes this an easy add for cabbers.
