In the eastern part of the region Fife, near Saint Andrews, the agate-finding location Eastsands is situated. Similar beaches in the whole southeastern scottish area are offering beach-agates (e.g. pebbles) too.

An unique specimen with intensively colours an high contrast is presented here. It belongs to the collection of the Scottish National Museums.
