Well, just got nine pounds of Sweetwater Agate from this E-Bay seller. Been looking for some more of this material for awhile and was pretty excited to get some. Guess it's been too long since I hunted some on my own. This newer material is pretty disappointing. No misrepresentation because it pretty much matches the pictures ( except for the polished material pics which were very dendritic!) and is Sweetwater Agate and was not billed as Sweetwater "Dendritic" Agate but it appears much of the weight of the lot is made up of what we always used to discard, the non dendritic stuff. Since many are transparent or translucent, we always used to high grade the material before taking it but probably now days it's getting scarce like most other good materials. Anyway, pretty high priced for pretty mediocre material. If any of you might be thinking of bidding on some in the future keep this in mind...mel
