Nate and I picked up some rough from Minnesota Lapidary Supply today. I found a bin labeled Bear Creek AZ and I am a sucker for white agates. Val was telling Nate that he dug it himself 25 miles NE of quartzite. He said he was looking for purple stuff but found this and said he kept it because it was alot of work to dig it
