The description confused me. You mention fire agates and a slab, but many of the pictured rocks look mossy. Are the fire agates and slab in addition to what's pictured?

Yes, they are freebies. And the fire agates do not have any fire showing, just dark in chalcedony. Not sure if they have fire or not.

What kind of agates are these? Are these extinct materials or some other rare exotic? They look like very nice stones, can you give us some dimensions on how big each rock is?

All of these rocks come from a 40 year old estate. The price is extremely fair. I could get about $30 for the sagenite alone. All are Arizona agates.
Mary Ann, you will have to get someone else cause you can't get me! LOL

People, look, I am not selling my personal collection that I am keeping to work. I have gem silica but I am going to work it. I have opal, sagenite and rare pieces that I am keeping to work. This stuff I am offering is extremely nice moss, sagenite, string moss, bright color agages and jaspers that I have way to much of. I will sell it at fair prices in order to recover my original cost. I am even offering free rock to go with it! Thats it, if it doesn't sell here, than I will sell it at shows or on Ebay. I GAVE AWAY all of the 'B Grade' that I had out back, I SOLD all of the 'A Grade' that I had out back. Now, what is left out back is the 'AAA Grade' rock. It will go as well, but I am going to ask fair prices for it. I will not be selling any more rough after this. I have enough of AAA Grade to fill about 10 large flat rate boxes and then it is all gone. Everything that will be left in my possession will be my personal collection that I will work in the future. Of course if anyone is ever looking for anything special and I have it, I will share or trade. I am not an Ass! This is exactly why I didn't want to list this stuff here. I am not angry with anyone, just frustrated with what some of you that want high grade agates for next to nothing. I warned you ahead of time that this rough would cost.
If you can not afford it and would like a few pieces, PM me and I will make sure you get a few!

Goodness! over react much? no one has commented on the price at all, and all I did was ask a couple of standard questions about the rocks that any serious buyer would be interested in knowing before hand. When someone is forking over $10/lb for rocks, they're going to want to know as much about the rock as possible to make sure the purchase is worth their hard earned cash!
When I sell on ebay, I do everything I can to describe the object for sale, everything I know about it, and include high resolution photographs from multiple angles. Likewise, I look for the same kind of information when I'm looking at high dollar purchases. Without good a marketing and sales strategy, you'll never get back your investment.

Redrock, your questions are fair. I already packed the box so I could mail it tomorrow before I left for Texas. Maybe you could get some comparisons from my hand in the pics? Sorry if it seemed like I attacked you, just had some pm comments that pushed me over the edge.
