I like the first one with quartz! I think it's really pretty when the quartz is banded. I noticed a lot of people in the community think quartz ruins an agate, unless it's a geode pocket. Or that quartz diminishes the value of the agate?

Most agate cutters don't want to see quartz pockets in the agate. I think a small pocket of quartz or a druzy pocket completely surrounded by agate looks great! When it is completely quartz if the quartz is clean they can also look great especially when polished! Thanks for watching!
