I think you drove to Montana to get a couple of those. All are fantabalosa, but that green moss is an eye popper. Curt

Good golly Carlos, you find way better stuff than I do in the Eagle Pass gravel! Love that first green moss in the big pics, the banded agate and that orbicular agate. For some reason, that green moss doesn't seem to show up in the Eagle Pass stuff. I've cabbed a few orbicular pieces from the Eagle Pass stuff and it's really nice stuff. You're gonna like those ones you have when you polish them......Mel

Nothing like hunting Rio Grande Agate in the rain - those agates just scream "pick me up"!

Those are incredible. Hell, I'm drooling over the prospect of rain! (It's snowing right now. Damn hard finding agates in the snow)

Wow! Quite the haul of some pretty exceptional material. That will keep a saw busy for a minute or two.

I'm with fmlevis - what a treat to be able to go for a stroll and just pick this stuff up.
Mass-wise, this one haul represents a number of times the amount my entire family has rockhounded that would shine up.
I'm jealous.
