Wow, Mike, the last three ones are astonishing! And being picked by you and your family, they are even greater, aren't they?

Awesome Mike! Nothing like picking beautiful rocks up right off the ground. Curt

Wow, those are great! I like the idea of a geode that isn't too big for my WF saw, too!
As Adrian said, even more special because you found them on a family trip. Have there been any arguments about who found which one? "I found that one!" "No, I did!" <grin>

Those are neat Mike! Some of them could pass for Bots or Casas Grandes Agate. Great bands and fortifications!....Mel

Those are beautiful, they remind me of Botswana agates.

I just cabbed the end cuts off the second last and third last pieces. It'll be a while before they get into the vibe though. They are looking pretty sweet so far. I am hanging out to cut some more from my recent trip and see what lies inside. Thanks for the comments.

Wow those are some really nice agates, lucky you can just pick them up like that. I'd be heading back there for another trip with a bigger truck. ;D
