Agua Nueva Agate Specimens - The Nodule Deposit

Rancho Agua Nueva has two major agate deposis, the  Mi Sueno claim was the best known deposit when I went down in 1997 to give a hand to Gene Mueller. By 1999 Gene had arranged to take the Cat 320 excavator to the lesser known nodule deposit, the 'Agua Nueva' claim, which required building a road but once that was in place we again had very good results. These specimens are from that expedition and are completely distinct from the material from the Mi Sueno claim.
