I have some more Cosmo agate from southern Utah in a flat rate box for sale. The price is $35 including shipping in the US ($10.30 of that is postage). If you're outside the US, please PM me & I'll come up with a price. The box weighs 17 lbs, 9 oz. These are trim saw sized pieces ranging from about 2" - 4". I live in Cedar City, Utah & collect this agate myself. The name Cosmo agate is my own, since it looks like images from the Hubble telescope! It is found at 11,000 feet at Brian Head Peak & west from there in the mountains near me. I pick up good material & leave the rest. There is no junk here! As you can see, there are lots of colors & lots of dendrites. I have tumbling, trim saw, & slab saw sizes. PM me if you want a particular size. Some of the tumbling sizes are great for making cabs without a saw. Just find a nice chip & grind it into a freeform cab shape. I know I haven't sold on RTH yet, but have over 300 positive feedbacks on eBay as zarguy. Here are some cabs that I'm working on made from this agate: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=ccabs&action=display&thread=37436Please PM me if interested. Lynn

This one is sold too. I'll put together some more FR boxes. I'll have smaller, tumbling sizes too.

Could you do a small flat rate box of the trim saw size, please? Would really like some but I just can't spring the $35 right now! Thanks - Donnie

Donnie, Here's a small FRB that weighs 3 lb, 6 oz. Man, that's quite a bit less than a medium FRB which usually tops out at about 20 lbs. It'll be $13 including postage. Let me know if you want it. I found most of these today. The hillside I'm searching now yields more pastel colors, with less white. These are shown dry. I didn't want to get the box wet. I hope you like them.

Donnie & 2BadFrog,
Your boxes are going out in today's mail.
Donnie, I added a few clear ones like you asked. The box was pretty jammed, but I always liked puzzles, so I fit them into nooks & crannies.

Got my box today and this is really pretty stuff. i got light blue, medium blue, peach, deep red, medium red, pink, salmon, lavender, white, gold ranging to khaki and oluive, light green, forest green, grey green, and a lot of them in the same piece. Patterns are blotchy, drecciated, a little plumy, a little mossy, a little poppy- and scattered black dendrites in most of uit. This is a real find and I can't wait to slab some up. Thanks, lynn!

Mark,
You sound downright excited! I'm glad you like it so much.
A rock club from Michigan was in town over the weekend & another member of our club took them to where I find this agate. They were in rockhound heaven, not just because of the colors, but because it was just sitting on the ground & they didn't have to dig or paw through tailings.
