We are very glad to present a new coffee table book about agates from Ploczki Gorne, Poland - classic locality for world class agates! The album consists of a comprehensive work divided in two parts. The first, descriptive part (about 50 pages) is arranged in several sections and deals with general topics, such as: origin of agates and their classification, Ploczki agates fields, geology of Sudety Mts., etc. The second part is a collection of 150 pages of photographies. The most beautiful agates, selected from some of the best polish collections, are illustrated (over 300 agates!!). The English version of this book includes an update of the 2009 polish version, with new photos of great specimens and rich descriptions.
The main author, editor and photographer - Tomasz Praszkier - is from SpiriferMinerals.com team.
Below you can see a selection of pages chosen from different chapters of the book.
