Out-of-state Agates and Other Material

I greatly treasure all the self-collected material from within the state of South Dakota, as there's a wonderful variety that can be found here. However, we do have some out of state specimens, some that we've bought, and some that we've collected or gotten as gifts over the years.

When I saw some Mexican Crazy Lace agate for sale, I couldn't resist buying some, as you see below! Other goodies are found towards the bottom of the page. Note the macro pages also have some extreme closeups of this material.

"Mexican Crazy Lace Agate"
Incredible material...how could I resist when the opportunity arose to buy some? These are all raw, unpolished pieces.
