Agouim is one of many agate locations of the high Atlas which are mined by the natives for amethyst-filled quartz geodes. These agates rarely reach the Central European market. Agouim agates show the typical conical form of Moroccan agate nodules. However, they rarely display a red outer margin, the second characteristic of Moroccan agates. Bluish-gray and white colors predominate.  Rarely a pink hue shows up in agates from Agouim. The banding is well developed and often displays beautiful shadow effect. Pseudomorphs after (pseudo) cubic or rhombohedral minerals are rare.
