I love them agates and crazy lace and jaspers. You got plenty of variety, hope you make some good money. And good luck with the dino bone.

You have quite the variety and taste, Fossilman, them agates are huge for being whole(the bigger ones). I personally like the thunderegg and petrified wood. Agates from your area take on a better shape than in Kentucky agate when cut. Here, they come in plumes and bands. I just prefer that layering in thundereggs. Great work, nevertheless! Like to see some cabbed, for sure.

I would say only five to ten dollars by the pound if rough. I live in Kentucky,(haven't been to any rock shows) but I hear that's about what they could go for, since the colors in most of your pictures I saw were not so vivid. I seen polished cabochons of black and red Kentucky agate only a few centimeters in length that fetch $120-150. I didn't know about Keokuk agates, so this is new to me. I know of their geodes but that's it. But for the price it's really whatever someone is willing to pay. Everyone says most of the time polishing the rough agate helps bring out any color so they can be sold for more, more easily.

Reminds me of drinking root beer out of a bottle. They're very pretty, sharp too.

Nice variety of color. I see a little of the would-be moss agate around the top of the first picture. I'm not the person to assess since I only know what moss agate looks like from the internet(who knows maybe I do have some but I'm just not educated enough to be sure), but the picture just looks like a fine quartz nodule. Good luck with the material.

Too bad I don't live anywhere near Oregon, else that'd be an awesome venture. Wish I was there.

Looks like varying shades of gray, white, and blue to me. I'm seeing multicolored bands... some sort of quartz or banded chalcedony? It's difficult to detect any green.
