Howdy folks, I've got two unusual specimen quality Rio Grande nodules up for sale for the pebblepups. $38 postage included for the two and if you want me to fill the rest of the flat rater with Rio tumble/trim saw stuff for a full box at $1.50 per pound let me know and I'll give you a total with that added in. First PM gets it. Here are pics of the two big nodules. They total about 6 1/4 pounds for the two. Pictured wet to show patterns better. Intact nodules so of course insides are only an educated guess but they look freaking awesome to me. Only promise you got to make me is I wanna see what's inside when you cut them, so please post pics *L*....Mel This first one is a red and gold moss but has long streamers or plumes like giant sagenite sprays. Approx 5"x3 1/2" x2 1/4"deep. From Carrizo Springs, TX Number two is a bit bigger at 4" x 4" x 4 1/2". This one has incredible red botryoidal and small fortifications etched on the outside. I suspect on the inside it's red and gold moss with small fortifications. Never found another like this in years of hunting Rios. This one is from Eagle Pass, TX. Someone please cut a small sphere from this cause I think it's a good'un.

Gotta give a shout out to Mel. I received the Rio agates today. They are bigger than what I imagined and heavy. Very cool agates. Mel sent me a message mentioning he would fill the rest of the box with extras. I was expecting little pebbles. No. They are large Rios with color. 5 agates filled a medium flat rate box.
These are the only Rio agates I have. I am more of a specimen collector right now and these are just what I have been waiting for. I am glad I went with Mel on these. Appears to have a good source with more to come.
Thanks a bunch Mel Gonna take some photos tomorrow, I hope.
