Large jasp-agate I collected on the Angus Coast 1/12/23. Huge thanks to Chris Harlow for his help with photography

Further finds at Balmerino during a rather damp and mercurial June

A particularly intricate Angus Coast piece, superbly photographed by Chris Harlow. 37/28mm

Recent Balmerino finds: 3 moss agates and a sagenitic piece

[Agate Scotland @AgateScotland]

@ScottishAgates A moss like that from Angus @ScottishAgates ? That's a remarkable piece (to me anyway) Wow. Intriguing Norman's Law was scored out. I would have thought Fife somewhere anyway, Scurr Hill for instance. I wonder whose pen that was....

Complex jasp agate, Angus Coast, collected 1/12/2023. 132mm/89mm

[Agate Scotland @AgateScotland]

The first piece I've cut this year that was truly inspirational 132/130mm Angus Coast

[Agate Scotland @AgateScotland]

@ScottishAgates Yes, just the Scottish ones please.I know that orbicular agate occurs in a few places, it seems to be rare in Angus, I have only a few examples. The above piece resembles "poppy jasper" as regards the spherulites (or whatever you would refer to them as) but it LOOKS like an agate

[Agate Scotland @AgateScotland]

@ScottishAgates Intriguing, thank you. I'd be most interested in any other orbicular pieces you know of in the collection

[Agate Scotland @AgateScotland]

Partially agatized zeolite. Maybe. Angus Coast 80mm/67mm, 80mm/66mm

@ScottishAgates Beautiful @ScottishAgates , thank you very kindly, its great to see it in hand:)

The "zoning" of banding and other structures within Lunan agates, as a result of including blade-like crystals of calcite, is highly varied and these types of agate are among those that fascinate me most
