Hello Jamey
Do you have examples of agates, that were chemically colored, but not yet drilled??
Was there a particular type of agate used for coloration?? Meaning, a banded agate, a carnelian agate, or ??
Were some agates better at taking the chemicals used for coloration?? I will post some pictures of some different agate rough from Montana that shows banding in the oxidized skin of the nodule and on the inside it is totally clear?? I am trying to understand which agates were good for chemical coloring. Some from Oregon, carnelian skins on the nodules and colorless inside?? from Walter All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
