I received a 17 pound box of agates from Vance as the high bidder of his auction. Most of it is best used for tumbling. I cut or face polished some of the larger nodules. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/102914/package-vanceI am offering a cigar box full of agates for $10 including priority mail shipping to someone willing to tumble and post pictures of the results. Anything that I can't use I find a home for and seeing the results of the tumble would be away to indicate the value of the nodules so I can offer them at a very reasonable price. |

Just got them out of the rotary. They really could use more time or some grinding but I am shutting the rotaries down for the winter. I am going to throw them in the lot o.

Thanks Ashley for volunteering. Vance said there were differing opinions on whether they were Crowley Ridge or something else. I don't tumble, but I did examine the nodules and faced polished a few with my Genie. I don't much about agates but they looked like pictures of Crowley.
When they are finished and there is interest, I will offer rough nodules here.

stardiamondIf you like I could find another volunteer to cover shipping and send them to them to them to finish up. Just let me know.

I can finish them. I can’t figure out the whole picture thing here, I’ll do them and ship them back.

Crowley Ridge is around where he collected these I do believe(looked at his original post).. I collect the same kind but have never called them Crowley ridge..some collectors down here in Louisiana / Mississippi will reference them as those .I think location makes a difference.. The alluvial plane that dispersed them started in Tennessee and was wide spread.kinda like thunder eggs or jasper,folks like to know localities..It might just be me,but that's my take.. Anyway..lol I have tumbled a bunch of this type of agate.. they are best done in a vibe with cushioning to help prevent chipping /cracking. Attached are a couple of pics from one of my batches. Enjoy!!   |
