I got to this show today. It wasn't huge, maybe a dozen people selling, but I think I got some nice stuff. I bought about 5 lbs of montana agates, all fist size or smaller (great for my WF saw!), at $.50/lb. That seems like a pretty good price, I shoulda maybe bought all 3 pails he had lol! There's a few missing from the picture too. The girls raided the bag. I also got a nice chunk of mahogony obsidian. It's about 6" long, 4" wide and 3" thick. I found this beautiful end cut of tiger eye for a dollar. It's over 4" long. Here's a nice piece of seam agate I got for $2.00. It's similar in size to the obsidian. And last but not least, 2 small slabs of picture jasper. The more square one is 2.5" x 2.5" My daughters both picked up a couple of $1.00 grab bags of tumbles. It's like finding a treasure chest! It kept them busy for the whole one hour ride home. Turned out to be a nice (but hot!) day to talk and pick through rocks. Nate
