Do you ever find agates here, Jessica? And do you think the shiny stone on the far left just below and to the right of the bigger pink stone is chert?

Honestly, I’d be in heaven on this beach!

No agates that that I have recognised as such. Am I right in thinking that they are mostly derived from igneous rocks? Gower peninsula is made of sedimentary rocks – but there is always the possibility that rocks have ended up on this coast from other geological areas as a result of glaciation. Chert I am not certain about either, but maybe one of my geologically knowledgable readers could answer the question.

That is exactly how I feel on a beach like that.
