Moss Agate
where are good places to find Moss Agates in MN? or where do i find moss agates?
my dad brought me back some Moss agates from Montana when we did a job there. i live in MN and was wondering if there were places around here that had some. Or where do i look for Moss Agates?
According to Minnesota's Dept of Natural Resources, some Lake Superior Agates can be classified as moss agates (if they have tree-branch-like inclusions of minerals). This webpage provides a map locating the Lake Superior Agates.

MinDat doesn't list Minnesota as a major source of moss agate but take a look at the map AND the list of locations (not all locations are mapped) on this on this page:
