Several years ago I bought a box of agate rough from the southwest. It was mostly moss, browns and maroons. It all had enough rind to hide the contents. Most was larger pieces that had been whacked into fist size pieces, so one could see inside. I was digging through the remains of the box and found this small piece that had not been broken up. I cut it in half and got a nice surprise! Wish I knew where this came from, I would really like to have a big chunk of this stuff. Sadly this piece is pretty fractured. Bill

That is an awesome looking rock, great color. When you say that it is pretty fractured, are they healed or does it break apart? If healed it will look impressive cabbed.
