My wife found this pretty thing on the Oregon coast on a foggy, rainy, cold afternoon. We were competing for the biggest agate and i had just found a beautiful piece and she was envious until she found this monster. We have never found any this size before. Weighs about 6 - 8 lbs. 16114704_364400240584246_6224869222266703652_n.jpg 16114379_364400283917575_1231114454860160779_n.jpg 16114347_364400250584245_6262585712016411198_n.jpg

Nice,
I was always looking for a perfect "eye" agate, got some that are near to perfect circles.

we found it on a secluded, very rocky part of the southern coast. Its just about as big as anything Ive seen. We have found other ones about half as large as that a dozen times or so but this one is just crazy. Hard to figure a value on it, pretty curious though.

value isn't really much, maybe 10, 15 bucks for one half that size...but to me it is priceless.
