Parcelas agates are found in the Cerro El Oregano area, eight miles from Le Barón. Parcelas agates are seldom intensively coloured. Usually they have a grey to bluish tone, and are showing on this base a finelined white banding. Sometimes nodules with an intense shadow-effekt were found.
Typically for Parcelas agate are little white dots in the banding.
More brilliant pictures of this kind of agate are represented on the new release from the AGATE-ARCHIVES : “Laguna-Agates” - an informative and and esthetical pleasure - presented on CD-ROM.
More informations about the locality and the agate-formation is given by Brad L. Cross in his book “The Agates of Northern Mexico”, page 86
