Today's Find: Large Dark Chalcedony Agate

I posted this in the Rock/Gem forum, so if I'm cross-posting somehow; sorry in advance mods.

I found this 6-8 lb. piece of Agate in the yard today here in the Tennessee mountains.

That is pretty. Do you do any rock work, or are you considering getting someone to try to polish it up for you? A beautiful find.
I live/work/hunt in S. Korea. I do find geodes, but so far haven't found one with anything to polish inside. Takes a bit to break them open. But the Koreans are big fans of rock
like what you found. Great find.

Thank you! I stumbled across this (literally) in the yard. I picked it up out of the soil and started to clean it off. I immediately noticed the light-brown rings and I knew what I had. I am going to cut this piece so it has a nice, flat side showing. It will go on the shelf most likely, seeing as though it is the largest agate I've found. I will post pictures of this process as well. Thanks for the kind words. -Luke
