Argentina Condor (San Rafael)

This is the official listing for our Condor agate rough stones.

In total, only 12 kg of this material is available. Due to this highly limited quantity, we are offering these stones exclusively in 12 pre-packed 1 kg bags.

Condor agates from Argentina are among the most collected agates in the world. They are best known for their fascinating colors and spectacular, vibrant chromatography patterns on the inside.

I purchased these rough stones many years ago with the intention of cutting them myself, but simply never got around to doing so. The vast majority of the pieces come from the famous "River Crossing" sub-locality, which is well-known in the region for producing some of the most beautifully banded agates. However, a mix of pieces from other localities within the Condor region is included as well.

Please note: Condor agates can be dark and truly reveal their stunning display of colors once you hold them up to the light. The individual pieces average about 1 1/2 to 3 inches in size, meaning a single kilo contains roughly 8 to 15 of these nodules.

Disclaimers: The pictures of polished pieces are for reference only and are not representative of what most of these will look like once cut!

Rough stones are always a gamble. Sometimes they look bad and turn out nice and sometimes they look nice and turn out bad. Be aware of this risk! With polished agates you know excatly what you will be getting, so please check out all my polished agate specimens as well.
