That is a really cool agate. Thank you...I got a tad excited when I dug it out of the lake |

That is more than awesome. Similar to my first find on my land after moving a couple years ago. later found another large one of the same. Yes, I would never cut something like that. Just enjoy as is.

Just enjoy as is. I won't lie, I have an urge sometimes to cut her open to see what is inside I'm more often than not disappointed When I cut open a big specimen like that... I'm looking for rocks that I can cab and maybe make some jewelry out of it and the best rocks for those are almost always smaller chunks that you can see all around and into it and get a better idea of where to cut it. |

Which is why I have stopped myself-never know what is in it. It weighs 13.5lbs, so it makes me wonder. I would think if it was holey inside it would weigh less? |

Very nice! Which lake if you don't mind me asking? Well the thing is I wish I remember for sure-I have had it for 20 years and it was sitting outside. I moved and decided to clean it up and keep it inside and realized it was nicer than I thought. I am like 90% positive it was out of Hunington but we also hit shaver that same day and I have been racking my brain trying to remember. |
