Howdy folks, Have two 20 pound MFR boxes of Mexican agate rough for sale. Casas Grandes, Agua Nueva, Laguna, Moctazuma, Coyamito, Esperanza. Parcelas etc in the mixes. Selling at tumbling material prices but there are cabbing chunks in the lots if you do a little creative cutting. I'd not crack this stuff up as it's better to take a tile saw or trim saw and saw it into slabettes. That will yield some one cab wonder cab slabs and the rest can make a really colorful tumble mix. Asking $115.00 delivered in US per box. First 2 PMs get them as usual. Any questions, feel free to ask. Box number one is larger hunks, couple of thick slabs and endcuts, good many uncut nodules here too. Box number two is smaller stuff, mainly pieces and small nodules of many types. Range from an inch or so to maybe 2" or so. Calling this tumbling mix same as above but again, even though they are smaller, its best to cut them first as there should be some good cabs in this stuff too.

I recall seeing the rocks in the first box when I visited Mel back in October. Just amazing rocks. Shoulda snagged them up along with everything else I bought that day, but I was already up to 5 milk crates full of rocks! Still very tempting, but with all the Rio agates I picked up in Zapata, my dance card is full. Some rare, hard to find - in this quality - rocks in these boxes!

Never doubted it would be anything else but top notch, but thanks captbob for the 'eyes on' endorsement of this material. Another satisfied recipient of Mel's rocks. A few teasers and a link to the others. Sorry for those rough cuts.
