Here at The Rancho Relaxo, we work with a lot of high end Condor Agate Geodes. It's one of things that I am most proud of. Condor Agates are some of the most vividly colored, intricately banded agates on the planet. The best part for me in the whole process is the planning stage; Figuring out what the stone in front of me will become. Since this particular pair was to be a set of 1 1/2" teardrops, I had a few options. The obvious choice is to center the geode in the plug. Since the central quartz crystallization of this piece was arched like a crescent, it just didn't work. It seemed to work against the natural flow. In the end I decided to offset the geode to compliment the shape of the teardrop. My only hope is that all of you approve :)
