Rare Find -- Blue agate and more


I did not expect to find a rock this blue in Belize but we did. Actually my daughter found one piece first when rock-hunting on the gravel road that goes by our house. I was so hoping to find a piece as well as I saw it was broken and although i did not really expect to, to my huge surprise I found a bigger piece of the same rock the next day. It looked grey on the road and we could not see the blue until we took it out of water.

Here are more recent finds. They were all picked up on the same gravel road within about 30 minutes.









 It is great to find rocks on our gravel roads as these stones are often already broken so we can see the color without breaking them open. Until they get paved, that is.

I hope you enjoyed the post!
