I put together Rock Boxes for my club to sell at silent auctions. They vary in focus. This one is a selection of nodules from across the world. I start them at $40 and they go up a lil bit. The box: A Botswana agate (Africa): A mozambique agate (Africa): Agate Creek Nodule (Australia): Condor Agate (Argentina) and Chihuahuan Agate (Mexico): Dryhead (Montana) - Left and Hills Agate (South Dakota) - right: Lake Superior Agate (Minnesota): Marfa Black and White Agate (Texas): Woodward Ranch Plume (Texas): Hauser Bed T-egg (California) upper left - Turtle Mountain Sagenite (California) upper right - Corn Field Sagenite Nodule (California) Northern Cady Mountain Nodule (California): Baker Egg, Deming (New Mexico): Mississippi River Agate (Louisiana): The large piece in the upper left of the box is a nodule from the Owlshead Mountains, Death Valley (California). I polished all the pieces but the Mississippi River agate. I received it from John (Thunder69). The Hills Agate came from Roger. The Laker came from either Marie or NDK (Nate). Mel provided the Dryhead, Owlshead, Woodward Ranch, and Marfa agates. Hauser Bed, Corn Field, Turtle Mountains, and Cady Mountain agates are self-collected. The Baker and Chihuahuan were estate sales. The Agate Creek, Condor, and Botswana were purchased from dealers. The Mozambique was given to me by another collector. Thank you for looking, Lowell
