Jason, the PAs and other stuff is amazing. You got it right about the variation in the PAs.

I've always thought Prairie agates are very underrated. Interesting patterns in very hard agate. Those are beautiful examples. Thanks Mel!  So...I'm totally confused about the Prairie Agates. I've always thought they weren't really agates...but rather Chert or Jaspers. Are some of these actually agates? Man this one: Outstanding! My favortie too. I'm pretty stoked. I'm thinking these slabs should be here tomorrow. That means while my wife watches The Curse of Oak Island, I can occupy myself with drawing out preforms! LOL Jason, the PAs and other stuff is amazing. You got it right about the variation in the PAs. Thanks Chris! I think I might be marking some of these up tomorrow night too!  |

Speaking of buying rocks... 3.75 pounds...and it feels like 20 pounds. It feels super dense...like it's heavier than it looks!    |

jasoninsd If your wife finds that you’ve dropped that rock on that glass cooktop you’re probably going to REALLY find out what it weighs. Is that Dino Bone?

To be honest...I think she'd be okay with it. I'm not too sure she really likes that stove! LOL Yep! Dino Bone! Looks like a nice piece of bone! I'm hoping! The interior of the bone looks pretty solid and well agatized. The outside does look like it wouldn't mind a stabilization... |

If you were so kind to send me some raw agates it would help you ease your mental burden.
And yes, I have no shame.
Lol

Lol Apparently a person can have all the rocks they want...so long as the "significant other" has already gone to bed. Then apparently it's no-holds-barred on what goes into the online shopping cart!
