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 cutting into?

Thanks!

I think the only way to know, for sure, is to cut it. If so, I would cut it into slabs.
