Michigan Rock Shop Score (pic heavy)

Sunday I seen an ad on Facebook for a 5 yr anniversary sale at our local rock shop. When I say local I mean only 2.5 hrs away. The sale mentioned cutting rough at $1 per pound and 25 percent off slabs. It had been awhile since I had been there so I figured there may be some good slabs I had not seen already. I ended up spending over 2 hours just looking through the slabs. I went through all 60 bins one slab at a time and ended up getting 27 pounds. I was kind of in a hurry after that but I took a quick look at the rough and spotted a bin full of agates. I asked if they were included in the $1 sale and when they said yes I grabbed the whole bin without even really looking through them. The bin weighed in at 36 pounds.

Here's a few pictures from inside Great Lakes Underground rock shop in Midland Michigan. They have a really good selection of specimens too but that was not what I was after.





Here's a group shot of the slabs


Some of the agates had already been cut. This is the 36 pound box and a few highlights.



Closeups of about half of the slabs. $6 per pound on sale. I am going to need help with I.D.'s eventually
