Condor agate is a highly prized gem-quality agate from the Mendoza Province of Argentina. Most specimens feature fine red, brown, and black banding, but colors can vary into blues, greens, and even whites. They are relatively new discovery, only discovered in 1993: they make a wonderful addition to any mineral collection.
