Learning to read the rocks, looking for signs of iris for example I noticed that when you hold the endcut slab up to the light, you probably won't get iris but you will see shades of pink. Also, if you take a light source, hold up to the agate, if you see pink theres a good chance its iris. Now I'm not totally sure if this is a fact or I'm reading to deep into it but it sure seems logical lol

OK, the comment about "thin to win" is a card playing term, used when you cut the deck. :)
Not rocks.

From there towards glendive is premo picking. The more room you've got available the more your gonna pick!!! What is it your focusing on? |
