Yes, that's Ky agate. Rare and hard to get. Most is fractured. Comes in a variety of colors/patterns.

Hi, I can definitely supply some yellow Kentucky agate material for tumbling. What sizes & how much are you interested in?

I could cut & shape it however you'd like, though of course lots of time on the saw would be more expensive.

As far as I'm concerned, you could just hit it with a small sledge hammer to get the desired sizes, but then you do risk unnecessary breakage & it's unpredictable material given the fractures.

Here's some pictures of the types of rock I would send, the yellow is the same shade/tone in all of these, but it just looks brighter when contrasted with black. & these have all been kept in the dark & totally unpolished/grimy outta the saw. After washing, ky agate color really brightens up when left out in the sun & polished: ).

Also, I live in Kentucky, Oz is just a reference to my name; ).

Let me know if you're interested, pm would work too.

How much are you looking to get for the unshaped material and the shaped?
