Very unusual for Montana. Looking forward to what you going to do with it.

That really is unusual for a Montana agate. It should make some great cabs!

Looks like a unique nodule all-right! That's one thing I like about the MT agates, is that there is always more types to discover.

Very pretty! Are you going to keep one half and maybe polish it for displaying also, Fossilman?
