Brazilian Agate

Large Brazilian Agate Specimen Slab with Wild Inclusions

This is a beautiful slice of a larger, premium Brazilian Agate - wild patterns in this piece! You could almost get lost looking at all the tiny details in it - a number of druse pockets and inclusions, some small eyes, and notice the long needle-shaped area in the close-ups - very neat! There are even a few angular areas in it. Both sides are nicely polished, and we believe the coloring is natural. It is approximately 8 1/2" x 7 1/2" and just over 5 mm thick. It weighs 390 grams, or 13.8 ounces. It's a really wonderful specimen to add to any collection! Shipping on this piece for international buyers will be more. Please ask for an invoice if interested.

Polished Thunderegg

Polished Thunderegg - Possibly Nevada (?)

This is a polished Thunderegg. It has a beautiful blue agate in the middle of the red rhyolite matrix - a pretty contrast. We posted photos of this one in an online forum hoping to have someone recognize where it might be from. No one who saw it was certain, but one person thought it might be from Nevada. It is 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" and nearly 1 3/4" thick. It weighs 1 pound 12 ounces, or 800 grams.

Large Fossil Vertibrae

Large Fossil Vertibrae - We think Dinosaur, Maybe Whale

This is a large fossil vertebrae bone. We think it is from a dinosaur. We heard from an interested party that it might be a vertebrae from a Triceratops. However, when the person looked closer at the photos, he described with good, logical information why he thought this might be from a whale instead. It may well be. However, we have numerous other samples of whale bone (smaller pieces), and comparing this piece and the whale bones directly in hand, and not from photos, it seems to me to have a very different look to it from the whale bone. However, we have very little experience with either dinosaur or whale bones. So whatever it actually is, we believe it to none-the-less be an awesome fossilized bone, much larger than what is normally found, and belonging to a larger species such as dino, but possibly whale. It is rough and uncut. It does not appear to be agatized that we can tell, but a wonderful specimen just as-is! We acquired it as part of a large collection of rough rocks. The person who collected it collected material all over California, Oregon and other nearby states between the 1950's to 1980's. We know he did collect dinosaur bone, but we do not know where he collected it specifically. While we have other nice dinosaur and fossil specimens, this one is by far the most outstanding, if only because of its size and nice shape. It is approximately 11 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 7 1/2" and weighs 36 lbs 4 ozs, or 16.4 kgs. Shipping cost will be more on this one, please email us with your location and zip code for cost with shipping.

Wileys Well Thunderegg

Unpolished Wiley's Well Thunderegg with Common Opal

This is another of the unpolished thundereggs we have from the Wiley's Well area. Lots going on with this one, including a couple areas of what I believe is common opal that filled into pockets. It is about 4 1/2" x 4" and up to a little less than 2" thick. It weighs 1 pound, 13 ounces, or 820 grams. Please note again that it is unpolished, and all but but the last two photos were taken of it wet.

Moctezuma Agate

Honey Moctezuma Agate Nodule

This is a beautiful Moctezuma Agate from Mexico. It is a pretty piece when just viewing it naturally, but if you take a closer look (with magnification for me), the details are just gorgeous - finely detailed lines, and a small druse-filled pocket. It is 2 1/8" x 1" at its wider points, and as thick as 15 mm. It weighs 27.6 grams, or 9/10 of an ounce. If interested in the pair, please email us as the other side may still be available as well.

Mexican Agate

Pretty Mexican Agate Nodule - Maybe Agua Nueva?

This is a polished Mexican Agate, essentially a double. We aren't sure where this piece came from other than we know it was collected in Mexico. It has some similarities to some Agua Nueva we've seen, though we aren't sure that's what this is. There is an open pocket on the one side, with a small area of pink fortification, while the other side has more amazing variety in it. It is 2 3/4" x 2 1/8" at its wider points, and 16-28 mm thick.

Coyamito Agate

Coyamito Agate Nodule

This is a polished Coyamito Agate nodule. At first glance, in natural lighting, you notice the purple center surrounded by red agate - a pretty little Coyamito. However, upon close inspection, the beautiful banding, with the delicately detailed lines, expecially in the tip, becomes visible. It is 2" x 1 1/2" and just over 21 mm thick. It has two open pockets as visible in the photos.

Petrified Wood Round

Full Round Petrified Wood Slab, Star Pattern in Center

This is a large, piece of agatized Petrified Wood, polished on both sides. The tree patterns are nicely detailed, including a star pattern in the center, and the tree bark beautifully preserved. I believe it to be a full round, and the bark is visible all the way around. Even that little indentation clearly has bark! Looking very closely at the detail, there are a couple small areas where the bark is a little more smooth than the rest of it, but I don't think it was chipped there, though not sure why so smooth compared to the rest. Also, there is one small area that looks like a break in the bark on one edge, about 1/2" wide and 1/4" thick, but the bark looks to me to still be there on the bottom of that as well (see last photo of slide show). We do not know what species it is, or where it was collected. It is 10 1/2" x 8 1/2" and about 1/2" thick. It weighs 3 lbs, 14 ounces, or 1.78 kgs. The photos do not do it justice - the color much looks richer in person. A gorgeous specimen for display or to add to a collection! This piece may also still be available through our eBay store.)

Chocolate Condor Agate

Rich Chocolate Condor Agate with Orange Splashes

This is a polished Condor Agate with a chocolaty-brown face and a couple of bright orange spots on the sides. Please note that it looks a little darker in natural lighting, and you don't notice the fortification as much. But view it under lighting, and its natural beauty becomes apparent. Notice also the crystal pocket in the center - it has a small quartz crystal that extends into the center a little more than the others. Very nice! It's a little over 2" x 1 1/2" at its wider points, and about 30 mm thick. It weighs 83.5 grams, or 2.9 ounces. A beautiful little piece.

Laguna Agate

Baby Laguna Agate Nodule

This is an awesome baby Laguna Agate. It is just small, only about 1 5/8" x 5/8" at its widest points, 13 mm thick. It weighs 12 grams, or 4/10 of an ounce. It sits nicely at an angle facing out. It may be just a small guy, but it's really a little beauty!

Dryhead Agate

This is really nice Dryhead Agate nodule from Montana, polished on the face. It weighs 245 grams, or 8.7 ounces, and measures roughly 4" x 2 1/2" at is widest points, and 15-31 mm thick. A gorgeous piece!

Sagenite Spray

Cady Mountains Sagenite Spray Specimen/Rough

We are pretty sure is a piece of a rough Sagenite nodule, unpolished, from the Cady Mountains in the Mojave Desert of California. It's just a rough chunk, but a stunning display spray of Sagenite - to me (Rhonda), a gorgeous specimen just as it is, but polishing would bring out the colors more! We're not sure of all the minerals in this stone. It's kind of triangular in shape, and each side has very nice patterns. It weighs 1 lb, 3 ounces, or 545 grams.

Chrysocolla Nodule

Large Chrysocolla Malachite Specimen Nodule

This is a sensational Chrysocolla mineral ... specimen(?) ... rough(?)!!! I considered it to be a fantastic specimen, but the buyer of this piece could choose to use it as rough (ah! - my heart!) instead. We recently acquired the collection of a gentleman that personally collected all kinds of rough specimens and rock all over California and Oregon between the 1950's and 1980's. Imagine our surprise when we came across this large, unassuming nodule, with a piece of plumber's tape wrapped around it (visible in the photo slide show). We carefully unwrapped it from the tape, separated the two sides to discover the gorgeous display inside. It looks to us to have mostly Chrysocolla, with some Malachite, and a little Cuprite (we think) in it as well. It appears that the nodule was separated along a fracture line, it has not been cut, and the inside is very rough and uneven with the crystals growing along the fracture. With both sides together, it is very roughly 7" x 5" x 6" and weighs 9 lbs (4 kg).
