Well i cant post all the photos here or i would crash your browser probably... I have 3 photo albums for rock and 1 album (items to be catigorised) which may contain rock. In the comments part below the photograph in the album i have the name of the rock. Please note these are 99% specimens... I am slowly getting stuff for lapidary. The 3 main photo albums are: Alaska Minerals, Rocka and Minerals, and Lapidary. I have around 500 photographs so far. Please note my website degrades the photographs so they are not as clear as my raw photos. My website

The agate i got from a friend that goes up in the mountians to places i can not go (he uses atv with a trailer) He brings back 500-1000 lbs of rock every trip. Its a cool agate but it only is good for a window rock.
This winter i will be photographing all my new stuff

what does it mean to be "only good for a window rock"?

Put it on my window and let the light reflect off of it... i will polish it but as for jewelry its junk (unless i make a 1/2 ft or larger round pendant that is thick) but that does not seem practical.
I don't have many lapidary worthy things now but i hope to gain more material that is lapidary worthy for necklaces or cabs.
