Hi all, I am in need of some help here. I am over here from New Zealand for a couple of weeks based out of Columbus Ohio. I always try to get hold of some material that relates to the area that I have traveled in. Therefore and am looking to purchase a small amount of North American agate to take home with me (luggage restrictions etc). Any suggestions??? BTW I have just been in Poland and manage to get hold of a contact in a club. They were most generous and I have ended up with a lot of material to drag home to NZ with me so don't have a whole heap of room no ;D Thanks in advance Cheers Scott

Hello Scotty,
Welcome...if I remember correctly there is a place in Westerville called the something special shoppe that has a nice selection of material...as the crow flies it is close to you but it has been a few years since I was there so you may want to check the tele first to find out if they are still there...let me know how you do!!

Hi east of Columbus is flint ridge it is just east of Newark about 12 miles or so. It is some of the best colored flint found anywhere in the world. It is very hard and takes a great shine many on here love to tumble it because it dose so well. Gary Hardy has a mine do a search on here and you can maybe find his web site or try to search for flint ridge flint on the web. They have a state park that the Indians used to mine the flint at. It is a good time just looking at the old mine site and if you go They may be able to tell you where to get some flint. George OK I looked it up it was in my favs saved. Gary Hardy 15887 flint ridge road Newark Ohio 43056 phone is 740-787-1578 his web site is flintridgeflint.com/
