Unfortunately, most of the material I received was fractured but I have seen large, beautiful unfractured pieces.

Here is one you may not be familiar with: Paso Berwyn Agate from Patagonia, Argentina. Not common at all. The agate beds where this is found was covered by a volcanic eruption in 2001. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agate #agates

This tumble rock is nuts! 🤯 Sun-bursty, flowery, star fishy awesomeness.

Two more before pics at the end 😁

West Texas agate free form cabochon. Kokernut o6 Ranch material. I love the dark, fortified top and the golden moss below. Took a great polish. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agate #cabochon #cabochons

3 Swazi agates I cut slabs out of last night. These should make great cabs. The last one looked like a dud but I think it will look great cabbed too. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agate #agates #cabochon

Three Alimajo agates I cut last night from Agate Bay. These are the largest Alimajos I have ever cut and they are gorgeous! These will be face polished. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agate #agates

Highlights from our weekend fossil hunts! #fossilhunting

An arrangement of fossils on a white background. There is a large vertebra (we think is from a dugong) and ten shark teeth representing five species: megalodon, mako (sp?), angustidens, bull shark, and hemipristis.

I believe it is gas. Most agates are found/created by volcanic activity.

Interesting little collection of lace agates that includes one unpolished specimen loaded with crystals. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agate #agates #laceagatecrystal

Happy to help you get started when you do find time!

Ha, peeling by rolling in a tumbler with very coarse grit for six months before polishing. My full time job prevents me from doing something like workshops. I can’t even do rock shows. I barely have time to create and post on my website!

It took FOREVER…like 6 months, to peel through that host rock. I really like them!

I love these little Inca agates. These pieces took forever to tumble and polish! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rocktumbling #agate #agates
