These nodules and geodes formed millions of years ago in volcanic rock cavities, where silica-rich solutions slowly deposited layer upon layer of chalcedony. The result is a spectacular display of concentric banding, often in brilliant reds, purples, pinks, oranges, and whites—colors that occur with remarkable intensity and contrast. When cut and polished, Laguna Agate geodes reveal intricate fortification patterns, occasional druzy quartz pockets, and exceptional translucency. Collectors prize these specimens not only for their beauty but also for their limited and highly localized occurrence, making them increasingly scarce and valuable over time.
