We were talking about blue Brazil agate a while back. This is the face of a polished half-nodule I have. I have blue'er agate, but not Brazilian. 5x4.5 about 5lbs

That's a really nice blue! Could you show a picture of the skin/rind? I'd like to compare it with the blue Brazilian agate I have.

Finally got the rock out of the saw. It looks pretty similar to yours.

Those are great. Don't think I've seen that deep of blue that wasn't dyed. Really cool.

Very nice Dan! When I saw the title, I thought "uh oh, dyed", but obviously not!
It's a big un, too.

One day I think I will cut a 1" thick specimen, and then slab up the rest. But I am in no hurry. I have lots of other projects ahead of that one.
