| The Same Carnelian through Light |
The two pictures above are both of the same Carnelian Agate. These agates are often missed due to the darkness and tone. Holding
them to the light it is very clear as to how special they are. This one was also found on our beach. It also can be visited
in our front office.

| Unique Multi Colored Agate |
While we are really novices at agate collecting we have found it to be a very enjoyable pastime. What may you ask will we
ever do with our agates, it is our plan that when we move on from here we will dump the almost the entire lot back in the
ocean as a thanks for the enjoyment. We also respect the ocean and nature and take along trash bags for washed in rubbish
that finds its way to the shore. We believe that by giving of ourselves to nature, nature in return may guide us in our searches
- karma if you will.
A few points of caution when searching for agates. First, above everything be aware of the ocean and sneak waves, you
might be far away from where the waves have been washing and before you know it you can be up to your waist in water. Also
it is not wise to use your MP3 Player if you are close to the water as it hides the sounds of the ocean.
We have become very tuned with the sounds of the water action and still are very aware of where the water is at all times.
Feel free to agate hunt and share your findings with us if you like. We can even guide serious hunters to a few spots if asked.
We do after all speak agate here at the Beachcomber!
