AWESOME SLABS! I am not sure about most but that 3rd one looks like dendritic opalite. Fran

Yeah,the guy I bought the first 3 didn't have a clue to what they were. I've never heard of that opalite tho. I bought 2 slabs of it tho,thought it was neat looking. Thx for a possible clue to what that is.
The agate's I bought down in Estill county Ky after going up and down a creek a couple hours turned up only some fossils and chert. Bought some agate and the other stuff at a rock show down there.
I thought the first might be Coprolite,but it doesn't look like most I've seen.

Hi odin the last 3 are for sure Ky. agates. That show you went too was it in Irvine Ky. thats the best Ky. agate show in the world. I thought they were super rare till I went to it this spring. George

1 crayola jasper 2 pipeline canyon agate/jasper perhaps? 3 dendritic opalite 4 Mexican lace would be my guesses.

Yep,I was there too. I saw lot of stuff I wanted but only spent about $45-50,if I had had a couple hundred I would have left with armloads of stuff.
As for the rarity factor with the stuff. I knew you kinda have to be a very experienced collector to know where and what to look for,but was surprised I didn't even find something small.
If I had been hunting sandstone,fossils and chert I would have had a great day tho.
