These three tumbled rocks were in a small jar indicating they were sent from Vietnam, AND that they were Montana Agate.

May have been sent from Vietnam, but I don't agree with the identification. Rock on top looks like Montana Agate, but the others don't.

Went on quest to see where else Montana Agate could be found in situ. Seems to be just in Montana.

Opinion?

So its pretty safe to presume that this is where that one came from.

Sometimes it's hard to tell it from real Montana agate.

Some of it sure does look like Montana! Thanks!

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
