Lake Superior Agates are found across parts of northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. These agates were carried by glaciers far from where they originally formed in the volcanic deposits of the Northern Midwest. Usually lake superior agates tend to be small, with anything over a pound being quite exceptional. 'Lakers', as they are sometimes called, exhibit a variety of traces of their glacial past, including peeling, water and wind polishing. The most desirable have tight banding with vibrant colors and naturally weathered features.
The lakers below are the finest ones from my extensive collection of over 100 agates, with weights ranging between one and twenty ounces
Large Lakers
This fabulous, huge laker has a great peeled face with striking red, white, and black banding. No quartz, lovely yellow limonite on the rind. It just doesn't get any better than this!
This is a classic 'candy striper', with great red and white banding. A few patches of yellow limonite is all that remains of the ride on this natural, glaciated beauty.
This massive laker has a deep pocket with some nice iron-stained citrine crystals. Some nice fortification and neat floating bands on this one.
