I've had this agate for so long (over 25 years) I can't remember where in Montana I found it-LOL....I finally cut it,it went from ugly duckling to beautiful... Its a huge agate,so will get lots of slabs off it..The deeper I go into the rock,the better it looks! Thumbs up Here is one slab off of it.....Not fractures you see,just cut crystal....One side has a couple of small fractures,but still workable... Just about to the heart of the agate..Looks better each time I take a slab off of it..

I like the little "orb" in the corner on the face of the agate....Would make a great cab....

Seems like you've been aging it like a fine wine. I love it when they are deceivingly rough on the outside and spectacular when exposed. Sure is a beauty!

Nice agate, why did you wait so long to cut it?
