If I had to guess I would say I have tumbled at least 40-50 pounds of these Bahia agates over the years. I can never resist and usually tack on 5 pounds of them with each grit order. Not only is this one of the best I have done but it also only spent two weeks in 46/70 before moving it to the vibe and no shaping on a grinder.   Thanks for looking Chuck |

If the size is right, that would make a dandy replacement for someone missing an eye. That is one really nice rock, well done.

Two weeks in coarse? You got a great piece there. Well done.

During the first clean out that end looked just like that. No sawing or grinding just naturally exposed banding. Chuck |

Wow, that’s amazing. Are those orbs on the sides? Not that it needs more to make it amazing, but that would be icing on the cake.

I wish I could have functional agate eyeballs in my head. Still want to see though lol. God forbid if I ever lose an eye in an accident I will be reaching out for this specimen!

I am not sure if they are truly eyes or just spots where the outer layer wore through to the inner. I'll see if I can get a better picture since my camera is better then my eyes. Chuck |

That's a sweet little bahia, Chuck! They do look like eyes on the surface and slightly below.

Bahias are cool, and that one is extraordinary.
