Small parcels of agate have been found all over Cihuahua and small new discoveries certainly will be made in the future.

Most of these deposits were never given a name. In the early 1950s small, red banded agates were found north of EL Sueco. Their rind and shape resembled sweet potatoes.

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.
