One more question I have would have is does anyone know how much the larger agate may be worth? My guesses could be anywhere from $10 to 100, but I have no clue what it really is lol. Then if it is worth selling id most likely see how to get the two smaller ones cut and polished.

I would say only five to ten dollars by the pound if rough. I live in Kentucky,(haven't been to any rock shows) but I hear that's about what they could go for, since the colors in most of your pictures I saw were not so vivid. I seen polished cabochons of black and red Kentucky agate only a few centimeters in length that fetch $120-150. I didn't know about Keokuk agates, so this is new to me. I know of their geodes but that's it. But for the price it's really whatever someone is willing to pay. Everyone says most of the time polishing the rough agate helps bring out any color so they can be sold for more, more easily.

Really like the dark bluish-gray banding in your agate, jf23!
