I'm really not sure it's an agate, but looks like one when wet, I'll have to chip a piece and polish it but it's darned beautiful. The photos don't do it justice. It's got nice druzy sections, then large areas that are clean. 8" wide x 3 1/4" tall x 7/16" thick, nice slab. I bought this off ebay for $1. Yes, that's right, I was the only bidder...lol....

I have a similar piece but it's purple -- definitely Amethyst druzy. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it yet. It makes a nice display piece as is, but I can see that it might be nice cut up into jewelry-sized pieces.

I have a piece or two that I got as gifts. I'll look later this evening and take pictures to see if it is the same thing.
Thanks!
