agate

Hi. Found this specimen in Afton Canyon, Cady Mountains, USA. 5lb at 9”x5”x2” Not much to look at from a first glance but you can see areas of agate and minerals poking though. I am wondering whether there is even a small chance that the agate Runs through the rock. Would it be worth...

Found this small specimen at the Lavic siding area in Barstow, CA. It looks like botryoidal agate but the growths seem to protrude further upward then what I have seen photos of online.

Where do I go? It's an age old question that is often only answered very vaguely at best. While some locations are public knowledge and common talk, actually finding them can be a different story. With that said, I created these overlays specifically for hunting Fairburn agates. Check em out if...

I was cleaning up a property and found this rock (along with some others) around the base of a tree in the front yard. Does anyone know what type of rock this is? It was already cut as you can see in the photos. The brown is an odd shade i haven’t seen before. Maybe an agate? Thank you in...

Any help would be appreciated. Including whether or not I need better pictures. Thank you!

Hello! This is my first post here. So recently I was helping my mother buy a used RV from a resale lot somewhere on the Georgia/Tennessee state line. We'd been to so many places that day I honestly can't remember everywhere we went I can't remember the name of the place I got these rocks but...

Hi! So I've been finding these really cool and colorful rocks in eastern WY that are unlike anything I've seen before. Has anyone else? There are obvious fossils in what I think is a form of chalcedony (jasper?) but then there are also these little clear crystal agate pockets. The fossils look...

Hey y'all, I was wondering if anyone has ever seen anything like these "meteorite" agates before. I have my own theories as to how they could be formed like that, but I'm curious what other people think. They certainly are unique! What do you think they are and what kind of processes made them...

I don't post much here anymore because I am so busy, but I thought I'd share some cool finds so far this year. I am a dealer in Japan and come back to California to dig & buy every 2 months. Spencer Opal - been on a binge for Spencers. The opal banding and the nodules the come in are awesome...

Please help! A year ago I moved to Maine because I love beachcombing for seaglass. However, now I find myself obsessed with rocks, and I can’t stop bringing them home. Unfortunately I know little about them. I have read online, and looked at pictures and I’m just not getting the answers I...

Hello! I am hoping someone here can help me identify a rock? that I have. It belongs to a friend who believes it to be agate. To me, it looks like someone had playdough and crumpled it up in their hand and left it to get hard. It has the perfect shape and placement of where fingers would be...

Any thoughts on what this might be? It was found in the arizona desert...

I recently went to Michigan and went agate hunting. I found this nice purple laker. This was my first rock hunting expedition so I am not familiar with rocks or minerals. Could someone tell me what this rock is made of or called. Does it have any value? It weighs 10.5 ounces. Also should I cut...

Hey all, I'm new to this site, just joined because I have a question.. There is an old man here in my town in Rural America, who has been rockhounding since the age of "6" and will be 87 this fall. Unfortunately, his health has taken a turn and he'll be moving into a home here shortly. I fear...

Found this, wondering if anybody could tell me type of agate? Or what it is? The band comes to a point on both sides

Hello TN! Me and my friend are taking a road trip from Michigan to Tennessee and Kentucky. We will be staying in the Gatlinburg area but are looking for some places to rockhound nearby. Does anyone know of any good spots? We have a pretty wide radius that we'd be willing to travel. I'll...
