Before I post some of my specimens let me be clear who you are dealing with here
The other member of my august committee Otto, he doesn't disagree with anything much, never picks up discredited terms, even allows colour to be spelt with the u. As I haven't kept up with the latest technology apparently please forgive the focus in some photos I put it down to climate change .
An agate from the valley crystal centre.
This one appears to be squashed during formation
Alas the colour is not uniform, nice crystal centre.
Paler the iron colouring has not followed any agate pattern. Note a fine crack where I used to tap rocks together to judge there texture definitely a discredited practice with agates.
Before you hop in the car note these were collected when I was a teenager as the area has been well fossicked since. The agates seem to be associated (spatially) with the Camberrawarra flows some 400ft of lava flows, sills, dykes tuffs and volcanic breccias. Ah metric I know .I have jaspers and pet wood to go in another post.
