A lot of potential there. I saw some really nice ones.

Do you know any of the names? I do not know any. The only one I would like an I.D. on right now is the large one in the last two photos. Those will be slabs I will want to sell. Chuck |

That one on the right looks pretty sweet. The middle one, too.

Yes seam agate for sure but in order to sell or price it it will require a specific I.D. That green one has great color but it is a sliver off of a rock. 1/2" thick at the thickest and tapers to zero. A cab could be made for sure but that is much more work then setting a slab saw and walking away. At the very least it will be a great tumbled rock. Chuck |

I fit the biggest pieces into the box that I can and then pack any remaining areas with smaller and smaller pieces of rock (instead of newspaper) until it is full.
The large piece is Prudent Man vein 1, there are a couple of smaller pieces of Prudent Man vein 2, most of the other ones are out of a vein called Pruheart (2nd photo is a closeup of Pruheart), I did see a piece of Idaho black tube agate in there also.
Thanks!
Tony

Thanks for the I.D catmandewe. Already itching to cut that large one. It may be a bit too big for my beacon star 14" vise so I may have to carefully downsize it first. A few of the small filler rocks are going to be great tumbles so those were a welcome addition to the box. I tried to show how stuffed the box was in the first two photos. I did not weigh it but it was pretty much solid rock with zero room to add more. Thanks again. Chuck |
