those are terrific Ian. I had no idea such fine agates could be found in Scotland.

What a great bunch of agates! I would have guessed they were agates from diverse locations. You're sitting on what was a secret to me: Scotland's got beautiful agates!

some of the nicest agates I have seen in awhile and you sure did a super job on them. The 9th picture down with the eyes is my favorite.

I'd never get bored looking at those. I really like Lakers, but I think I like yours better. Keep posting!

Ian those are really beautiful!!! I also didn't know Scotland had such beauties. The ocean jasper at 2 o'clock on the first picture is super. Are these quality stones hard to find (a lot of stooping and looking) or pretty common at the right place?
Super job on polishing them. Please keep sharing.

Keep them coming. Amazing how agate is such a widespread stone. So many variations from so many places. How would it be known if you did not post them. They are spectacular.

What an entertaining show of beautiful agates. I've scrolled up and down the page a half dozen times or so. Definitely NOT boring. I especially like seeing the halves pictured together. I may be borrowing that idea for some of my future tumbles Keep 'em coming and congrats on your vibe purchase.
