My best friend (and rock buddy) found this at a flea market. Any idea what kind of agate this is? Very small drusy pocket at 6 o'clock. The small dark speckling is in the agate, not just surface smuts. Best picture I could manage with my cell phone and florescent lighting. Colors are pretty accurate.  |

Getting rare and a bit pricey. Nice find. Chuck |

Thanks everyone! I knew you guys would have the answer! Not a bad find then for 50 cents.

Flea markets can have the coolest stuff for next to nothing. I bought 2 three pound tumblers for $5 a piece. Still running today. |

It's a pin setting. Tina wants to reset it in silver someday. She collects vintage pins (in addition to rocks). Thats how she came across it,.
