That is absolutely stunning. The blue color, the water lines, and that polish that is blinding! Gorgeous specimen!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

I have some pretty amazing prairie agates which have banding all the way around the rock. I was thinking video would be the best way to try and show all the intricacies in the stones far easier than 10 pictures per stone! LOL
