First time we've offered anything up on here. A couple of people made comments in another thread about how it's getting more difficult to find this rough, so I'm putting together four 15 lb. boxes of St. John's Flower Agate. The first four photos are the "base" groupings for each box, then they'll be filled with pieces from the last three photos. This stuff looks a lot better in hand, and the smaller pieces were dug outta' the dirt from under a pile collected by someone who used to live there.
EDIT - PHOTOS OF EXACT CONTENTS OF LAST BOX ADDED AT END OF THIS THREAD.
The larger pieces have typical fracture lines that tend to run parallel to each other. Some areas will have cross-fractures, but anyone who knows this material knows it's worth cutting between the cracks. If I haven't scared you off already, the boxes will be $120 including shipping. First four to claim a box (by box number) in this thread will score.
BOX 1 - SOLD
BOX 2 - SOLD
BOX 3 - SOLD
BOX 4 - SOLD
Smaller Pieces
Medium Pieces
Larger Pieces
I'm off now to fill them to make them all consistent weight and variety.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks.

Once upon a time there was better rough available.
Unfortunately, now that was "once upon a time ago"... .
I know we probably won't ever find any more of it.

And then there were two... .
I'll be back on here after dinner to post photos of the exact contents of the remaining two boxes.
I also have larger versions I could email if anyone wanted to see them that way.

Well, folks, it's down to one.
This will be the last box of this. Bumped it back up for newer members who might not have seen the original offer.

Thanks, holajonathan - you got the last one. Your post showed up while I was having dinner, or would have responded sooner.
If you'd been wanting to get some St Johns, now you'll have it.
Just PM me your address and we'll go from there.
