They were labelled Berber agate - though one looks like Swazi to me after cutting it.

That last one does look more like a Swazi than Berber...

Thanks! They were only $3/lb, so I actually think it is kind of cool I accidentally got a Swazi agate nodule. I might head back this weekend if I have time and see if they have any more of them. They are cool enough at that price.

Here is a close up of the one with weird inclusions in it:

Heck, at that price, I could see another 6-7 pounds sneaking into my "to buy" basket as I walked around! LOL

The Berbers are nice too.
