I found these totally by accident when I stopped the Jeep to check a rock in the distance. I walked all over them looking for the color that I had seen when driving. When my brain switched back from registering color to what else is on the ground it spotted these fossils all over the place. I have picked up and given away hundreds of these in many places and this is the first that I have seen that are either brown agate or smoky quartz. After I saw that I was picking them up with both hands and stuffing my pockets full. Has anyone else seen these totally changed from petrified to agatized? I am thinking they must be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and I am going to be heading to Hawaii in a couple of weeks. Or Not. Please let me know what you think. Polished on the front they would make some awesome beads. Jim   |

WooHoo Thank you Jean. Some time ago I wrote that name down and had it on my desk so I could remember it. After I remembered it I threw the damn paper away AND FORGOT IT AGAIN. THERE IS NO HOPE.
Are any of those agatized? That is the thing that I am really wondering about.

Wow, they have even found them changed to precious opal. So, does anyone want to buy some belemnites for fifty thousand dollars? That is half off.
