I'm updating the Agate Index for its 2nd edition (please see the cabochon thread for what this is) and I need images for the following agates.
Keswick Agate(Iowa), Boley Agate, Alabama Paint Agate, Hogg Creek Agates(ID), Coldwater (Iowa), good Chimney Bed agates and Mulligan Peak(AZ), some good Horse Canyon shots (CA), Del Norte Eggs(CO), Luna (NM), some Lake Balmorhea (TX), Big Diggins Agate (NM), Sowbelly Agate (CO).
Some of these I already have photos for, but I would like to augment the one or two shots I have with additional specimens.
The images need to be as clear as possible as the transition from 'Pages' - my software to PDF file lowers the quality to such a point that anything blurred is magnified and stands out.
My goal is to revamp the Indexes over the Christmas school vacation, so any new photos should be entered by December 15th or so. If you miss the deadline, anything submitted will just be kept for next year. (I'm beginning to think this time of year will be my window for updates each year moving forward.)
I also am considering doing a Facebook page for the Agate Index - though I have not done one of these before - and I was wondering if there are limits to the amount of space you are given, or how many subpages could be set up - for example dividing the images by both state and by type. If you know about Facebook, can you give some advice. Thanks.
Please place photos here if you have a good one I can use!
Also see the posts I've updated in the Identification section. Please add photos you'd like to share with the world, especially if you are in an area that is not well represented in any of the agate/jasper books. Our goal with this project is the create an American database that you can use to research unknown material or discover what different locations have to offer.
Thank you for your help,
Lowell
