Seriously jealous that you could get your hands on nice Argentinian agates, these look nice!

Those are some seriously cool specimens Paul. Nice score.
That "crater agate" looks as though you could move in for a short stay. A total cave inside! Gorgeous/. Woot!

Thanks, guys. She had so much stock it was hard to look everything over. Many of the pre-cut/polished specimens were truly impressive. She has a store up in Fontana (909-578-7969, email:Ana400@aol.com) which, for at least Shotgunner and I, is "generally" local (or at least within a 90 minute drive). At some point, I'd like to drop by and see what else she has.
Shotgunner - the crater agate is interesting. Three or four of the cut specimens I saw all had that black obsidian-like exterior with a red interior but there was quite a bit of variety, none-the-less. Eye-catching pieces.

Hey Bill - good to see you again. Was kind of hoping you'd be able to make the show. Next time!

Great specimens! I'm glad you had a chance to roam those piles. The bonus isn't the polished pieces but those rough piles of material just waiting to be picked and done yourself.
If others are interested, she always does the Conejo show in Newberry Park/Thousand Oaks each April.
Crater/patagonian/snow/condor/black river. The show prior to this they were selling polished flat boxes of Black River Agates for $50.

I'm glad you mentioned that she was here. Your display had those great looking Argentinian agates and I was glad to be able to jump into the spending spree. LOL. James - yeah, they were calling my name ...
