[Agates from Argentina]

Well , I don´t want this to look as an add , but with Claudia and Ricardo 
(me) we found some new agate sources in the Patagonian Region, Cuyean Region 
Mesopotamic Region in Argentina.
During four years , we travelled thousands of miles until "collector grade" 
agates were collected , cut and polished.and we are completely sure that 
these agates are new for Worldwide collectors.

In other words , there are more agates in Argentina that the Commercially 
known as "Condor" agates.
