It's a bright sunny day and we are going to the river ( Fraser River). It's only a few minutes drive from our home in Rosedale , B.C.
My husband and I love walking along the river and looking for Agates.Every time I find one I get very excited. It's like finding a little Gem.
I't one of the most relaxing , rejuvinating and exhilirating experiences.
In the first 2 pictures you can see what they look like polished and the 3rd picture shows what they look like in their natural state.

Oh, Jordanka! Take me with you! They are beautiful. I just found out what agate was, last year. As a vendor in a local Loews hotel, several ladies sold jewelry. They gave me a bit of information of the stones. Their jewelry was beautiful.
Have a wonderful time and show more photos of your finds. Diana
Thanks for stopping by Diana.Too bad you don't live close by, I would gladly take you with us. It is an amazing experience.
Hi Jordanka! It's Jo from Under the Influence.
