Picked up some equipment and slabs last week, unpacking it today I found these in one of the boxes. One more slab in a green color but no pic yet

Me personally, I'd like a couple of boules to go. Can ya tell me where I can pick up a half dozen - heck, make it an even dozen - of these! Reds and purples, too. I know they are out there, somewhere. Just depends how much $$$ you have to spend.
DROOL WARNING!!! Cover your keyboards, lol. Pics shamelessly stolen from "that other forum."
Eye candy, fer shure. Love to find a long lost stash of this stuff!

Hey thanks orrum, I thought it was, oh well guess I was wrong, and being as you were helpful I would not want to burden you with worthless material, so I can just put it in wife's flower bed, That way it won't be in your way either And you you are lucky, You are part of a great group here and you play with rocks

rockpickerforever Last year at the Moose Lake, MN agate days I was able to hold one in my hand. I could have bought it for $3500. More then I was willing to spent! I did some research and found that sometimes when you make the first cut on the boule it can shatter. It would sure suck to spend that kind of money and have that happen. At least I was able to see and hold one....................................MrP

That would have been something, MrP! What color was it? I was trying to read what the paper wrapped around that first one said. Some kind of instructions for working it, I gather.

Some kind of instructions for working it, I gather. rockpickerforever It was green. I went back to it a couple of times to look and hold it. Tried to talk my bride into letting me buy it, even though it was more then I could spend, but she would not let me. To be honest she did not like the attitude of the seller.................................MrP
