I was at a rock show last weekend and there was a guy who had this agate. This agate is very high quality and weighs 11 pounds. This is the best large agate I have ever seen. As a matter of fact, it is the largest LS agate I have ever seen period. The one at the Moose Lake bank isn't even a real agate. This one is.

Id slab that sucker and not even bat an eye 😂 I'm not sure I could bring myself to do it, but I would polish a large window on the best side. |

That's very nice. If I had found that there would barely be time for pictures. It would be straight into a tumbler. if one wasn't ready for a new run, I end the current batch and start a new one!!

I'd polish it as is with a 4" angle grinder.

That is nuts! Id totally want to cut that sucker in half and polish the flats from the cut. Some might not like that but I wouldnt be able to hold myself back from seeing whats inside it.

That one was a hunk but kind-of bland in colors. We always get a kick, outta them carrying them around in their private suitcases.

That's beyond amazing!
I don't think I could bring myself to do anything with that if it were mine. It would remain "as is"...

Wow!!
I'd probably make a sphere out of it, just because I could.
