On Tuesday, a friend of mine brought a friend of his over to my house. He introduced us and then told me he brought him over to fix my back. Two or three minutes later, my back felt about 90% better!!! So, of course, Wednesday I layed around and recuperated ... right? Yeah, RIGHT ... desert, here I come! About seven hours at Agate Road in the desert heat was "just what the doctor ordered" LOL. I spent yesterday and most of today sorting and scrubbing it all, and my back feels great!

Just for clarification, these are pure beautiful agate, through and through. The dark orange/brown/black coating that you see on the outside of most of these stones is called "desert varnish" ... it's in no way indicative of what's inside, and it easily comes-off in the first stage of tumbling or grinding.

Anyway ... here ya go! This is 25+ pounds of agate from "Da Road", all selected for cutting on small saws such as the WF, cleaned and ready for slicing. The patterns in this material are amazing! I even took some close-up pics to show you just how gorgeous this stuff is.

The price is ~~$35~~ $30, including free Priority Mail shipping within the continental US. Make your payment to my PayPal account, groovatism@hotmail.com, THEN PM me to let me know you've made the purchase, so that I can mark the lot as SOLD. If you live outside the continental US and wish to buy, please contact me before paying so that the shipping cost can be calculated.

Thanks For Looking !!!

Randy, I'm glad that you're happy with it. You can't imagine how much I appreciate that you and Cathy bought this AND the other batch. Between the two, there's around 60 pounds of stones, but I'm sure you'll have them cut and tumbling in no time (if you don't already)!

I try to pack boxes as tightly as possible because the less the stones bang into each other, the less the possibility of damage. You have mad wrapping skills, so I figured the "agate wrappers" would be put to good use.

Have fun with it all! I'll be looking forward to PICS!

These are some really amazing rocks too, they're gonna make some beautiful cabs!!

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
