I found it in the piles I'm trying to id, keep and sell. This is getting to be a lot of fun! I think it looks like it had blood in the middle!

A lady at the flea market is always making a smug comment like 'I see you're still bringing those rocks'. I just 😃 and say yes I am and watch as she sells nothing and I sell several 'rocks'. She definitely doesn't get it. Side note though my customers love my lack of knowledge- they love to fill me in after they make their purchases. I didn't know I was selling hidden garnets so cheap!

There is only 1 club here but I haven't been to a meeting. Tried chatting on facebook and almost immediately got snubbed. I love the people here - too bad we're so spaced out! I have so much material I would trade for some help in learning what to do with it!

Maybe??? Do they appear light in weight for size? That could indicate hollow interior, which would make them thundereggs. Even if not light, they might be. Only way to tell for sure is to saw them in half. Agree the orange one is probably not. I thought hollow inside made them geodes? I have a lot to learn! I can't cut them but I did bust a few open and it appears to be either agate or jasper inside. The lighter color ones have been crystallized inside.

It's subjective more than anything. Generally speaking agate is translucent where as jasper is opaque. That's what I had assumed but you know what they say about assuming... Thanks!
