Nate and I went out to play on the beach this morning – we found 2 different agate beds. Again, the bounty is so plentiful that we step over precious gems.

This trip I was focused on Sea Glass and White Rocks for our collection. 

The waves surge east and west, creating music as each wave rolls the rocks back and forth. One gets accustomed to the rhythm. Every once in a while the music swells, which is an indication to walk east  – and fast! 

On one such surge I nearly tripped over this beauty of a blue agate.  I couldn’t quite capture just how blue the little guy is, but you can see the purple band,  dark blue band, the white agate coating, clear parts inside and the “fingernail” marks all  over. Beautiful!

A perfect November Beachcoming Agate Walk Find in Lincoln County!

We both came home with a pocket full of carnelians, sea glass, jade and jasper. FUN!
