Welcome aboard Dewayne. That's a beautiful specimen that you're taking offers on. I'd love to have it sitting in my display cabinet, but have no idea of what to offer for it. It would be a shame to cut that one, even though it would make great cabs.

I dunno, maybe you keep one nice slab as a specimen and cab the rest...
It's not one of the more common stones, like Biggs, Owyhee, Lake Superior, etc. where pricing is pretty well established.

Since no one else seems to want to bite on this one, I'll start the bidding at $50.00. I'd love to have that piece for display, and I can assure you that it wouldn't be cut while I'm still kicking. Don

I'll up ya to $55.00. Just hit it lightly with the soda blaster, and a little baby oil, and it would look beautiful sitting in my display cabinet.

Don't know. Maybe the bids weren't high enough. I tried to get it going by posting an opening bid. Don

Huh ! Don't know. I just checked his first post on Golden Flame Agate, and it's still up. If he decided to withdraw the piece from bids, I wish he would have said something. Don

Hey, I was just trying to get the bidding started. no one else seemed to want to start it off. If he had a minimum price that he was looking for, he should have said what it was. Don

Just being facetious, Don. If he had a price in mind he should have put it out there.

Oh well. That sure would have looked purdy in my display case. I was willing to keep the bid going, until it got too rich for my blood. Don't know how high it might have gone. It would have been interesting to see what the winning bid would have been. I still think it's too nice a piece to be cut up for cabs. Don

It sure is a pretty piece & way too rich for my blood too. I would have to at least get a couple of cabs from it, just too pretty not too.

Hey Dewayne, glad to hear the piece is still up for bids. When you post new pics, why don't you give us a minimum bid to start from ? I'd still like to see it in my display case, but if someone out bids me, oh well. Don

I'm sure my wife will want me to bid on it once she see's the new pics. I was going to show it to her last night, but the photo was gone!
