Third Blue Agate Found on the Oregon Coast!

Natural fancy blue agate of the Oregon Coast as it was found

Not bad, this makes the third blue agate that has been brought in this summer! Notice the concentric banding of white around the blue bubbly orbs (this is a botryoidal form of agate). Lucky beach comber Eileen from California found this agate beauty north of Newport.
