You can use them to update the Oregon index if you wish. Bob

Thanks for posting it. Is that a seam agate, nodular, or are both types represented? (Sorry - the teacher in me asks these questions...) Lowell

Lowell,
It is almost exclusively nodular. It is found just above the California border from the COPCO Agate location. The Lincoln Agate came in much larger pieces than COPCO and it has more carneilian coloring. The site has been closed for many years now.

That location information is interesting, Bob. I'd never heard of Lincoln agate but when I saw the shapes and dendrites I immediately thought: Copco. My instinct was validated when you mentioned the two deposits were adjacent. I'll bet it yields some very nice cabs -- very nice material!

Here is a photo of a piece that I face polished. Bob

Was shocked to see a 30$ prize-tag on one of the slabs, but then I saw the dendrites. Subherb material. There seem to be quite a few lines criss-crossing a few pieces; are those fractures?

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
