That would be nice just to say I cut/polished that. So we know the copper came after the agate formed. so less than 1.2 billion years ago. Well now that I think about it, if it is not at leas 1.2 billion should I even be impressed?

Very amazing. toiv0 have you ever run across any of these? Found a few with copper inclusions but not a super replacement like that. Had a friend who had a few but he put them in jewelry. The really nice ones come from the UP.
