                             These agates are from the trade area at the neck ,  in Wadern, Saarland. Findings were made between September 2006 and May 2007. The finding zone was not bigger than 30 squarefeet in a vucanic hostrock. Nodular agates and vein-agates did occur beside carbonates, such as dolomite or calcite. The vein agates are showing a beautifully jagged picture, because they formed over  scalenoedrical carbonates. The occurrence of  waterlevel-agate-banding in vein-agates is very unusual for agates from the Saar-Nahe-Region.
