Luna Blue Agates

Luna Blue Agate from New Mexico is a highly sought-after variety of chalcedony quartz known for its creamy, light-blue to lavender coloration, intricate lace-like banding, and often vugs filled with tiny quartz crystals. Found near the town of Luna, these volcanic-formed nodules are prized by rockhounds for their beautiful blue hues, often appearing in "eyes" or "creases" and sometimes showing, on the exterior, a cratered, moon-like texture. Luna, New Mexico had been on our Rock Hunting Bucket List for quite some time. The higher altitude means you need to be aware of weather. Most folks would think going to New Mexico or Arizona in winter is the perfect time to go... However Luna sits at an altitude of 7008' and the area where you find these beauties is higher than that. Altitudes that high are much cooler so heading there in winter isn't wise. I checked the monthly forecast to pick a good time to go. If you live closer, this isn't such a big deal, but we live on the East Coast. We were in Luna at the end of September/beginning of October and it was perfect! You'll notice in the video, that we had to have help when we got stuck in the mud. As a girl raised to drive muddy Georgia roads, you'd think I'd know better. The night before we arrived in Luna, it rained. Hard. Upon arriving in Luna, we took a dirt road we'd chosen from Google maps satellite. The road was muddy but not too bad... until it was. Then it was too late. I tried turning around but we sank. We were stuck. It was about an hour later that someone came by and helped pull us out. We were so thankful! Enjoy!
