Agates are works of art with an unmatched fineness of detail formed from nature itself; this is the lens from which Beautiful Agates, a rockhounding web resource with a focus on agates, was constructed.
The website commonly uses macro-photography to highlight the beauty of every layer embedded in an agate. Rockhounders on the go can also use the quick search feature to identify their finds with ease. The contents are curated to speak to both the niche of rockhounders but a wider audience with an appreciation of all things beautiful.
The design of Beautiful Agates merges the aesthetics of the coldness of scientific cataloging with high art through the large-scale depictions of abstract patterns found within the subject itself.
