<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 1818470, member: 10012"]My favorite agate is Fire agate. For general information the hardstone cameos, many of which are agate were cut parallel to the band and then ground down to show two or more colors. Germany had an excellent source of banded agate and many of the early agate cameos came from germany. Today, many of the hardstone cameos are made using laser technology. I don't know if this technology has been extended to encompass shell cameos? Perhaps someone in this forum can inform us?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
