What group? The group I pulled the screenshot from has not been updated to the lower amount.

Edit: actually it's been deleted from that group

He is actually a retired police officer. He has some of the most unique plume, sagenite, and flower bouquet agates that are from the 1 location he mined in Mexico. The polished displays were selling for a collector price over 10 years ago. The quality and detail of the plumes and colors are among some of the best. I don't know how much better it can get then what he found. Google "San Carlos Bouquet Agate" and you will see why he's not too concerned to see it go unless someone has a chunk of money. I do wish he took the time to photograph and list every piece for sale.. I never got any! He used to sell the rough and polished pieces on ebay all the time and offered others to go on the collecting trip early 2000's.

Don't ask a man what breed of dog he has. If it's a Lab he will tell you. If not you don't want to embarrass him.

It’s listed at $80K on a facebook page dated January 6, presumably this year. Same date as initial post this thread.

If his flickr pics are any indication, he’s got a helluva collection. Them piles out in the yard ain’t.

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.
