I've lived in this tiny little town for 7 years and it has two rock shops. They have been closed ever since I moved here. I drove by one today...AND IT WAS OPEN! Here is my first haul:  Most of it was Mexican Lace Agate, but I have several I need help identifying. This is a 16 lb. block of blue stone:  This looks like Amethyst:  Don't know what the next 5 pictures are.      Any ideas? I know I will be going back often. It's only about two miles away, nothing is sorted, it's just dumped in piles, and they don't seem to know what anything is. Trish |

 Can't help you with IDing the rocks but they are sure nice looking. Yeah, I can see where it would be trouble for the pocket book. ;D Cher

I can't help with the IDing either - other than the Mex Lace, but sure looks like you made a good haul there! And, yes, with a rock shop right around the corner you are in DEEP doo-doo!
LOL!
There's a rock shop about 25 miles from BE and I. And next month their 1/2 price sale starts and lasts thru Sept., I think. Can't wait!!

That blue one in the fourth picture must be a plume agate. I looked at it real close and it has a lot of red plumes in it. Should be beautiful cut.
