Howdy folks, Here are the four slices I took off the "Big Red" Rio Grande agate. Very solid and no fractures but dang, it was big enough around that it totally buried my saw blade so I had to give up on cutting into it anymore. Anyway, the pics. Thanks for looking....Mel All four: Red plume and moss with little pools of blue and white agate Couple of closer shots:

Whew, some Purdy stuff! Any plans on going out to your friend's ranch and do some hunting yourself?

Brian, I think I will go but probably not till after deer season. Too many bullets flying around till then. My next trip will probably be a day trip next month down to George West for wood and palm.....Mel

Nice material, like the colors. Being solid is a bonus too.
