Rare Dutch agates.
The pictures shown on this page are from agates found in gravel pits near the Rhine River.
These agates are very rare since Holland has no agates of it's own. The agates were washed down by the Rhine River and his tributaries like the Moselle, the Nahe and the Saar. Some agates show characteristics which are typical for the Saar/Nahe region in Germany. Idar-Oberstein is the most famous city in this region and famous for the agates found here.
