i picked them up on ebay i was just lucky and i think most people dont have a saw big enuff to slab them so they wouldent bid that high to take a hammer to them,, that would be a shame to do
i still have one more chunk commin a 16lb chunk of succor creek pic. jasper

Hey Sands, What are you typing on Ebay to find the large agates? I usually put in rough agates. Is that what you are doing? I like to pick up some monsters go give the ol' 20 incher a work out.

I would almost be tempted to leave that whole! Seriously, the designs and shapes are so large, they are best appreciated in the rough. But then, seriously, you don't think I wouldn't be sawing that sucker up after about 2 minutes of "appreciation"? ;D   cookie |
