Dave Englund > .25oz beautiful Lake Superior "Eye" Agate; 2.7cm x 2cm x 1.5cm. I found this little rock in a gravel pit outside Moose Lake Minnesota. It was my first time out "rock-hunting" with a more experienced hunter. He was flabbergasted that I found such a jewel my first time out. I tumbled it with some other rocks and this was the result.
Dave Englund > 2oz amazingly beautiful Lake Superior Agate; 4.5cm x 3.5cm x 2.3cm. Purchased from an old rock hunter and polisher (Marvin Green).
Dave Englund > 1.5oz Lake Superior Agate; 4.2cm x 3cm x 2.7cm. Al natural ("water polished," by virture of having spent hundreds of years in a creek bed with water running over it's surface).
Dave Englund > 2.5oz Lake Superior Agate; 5cm x 4cm x 3cm. Another water polished agate. Note the yellow regions in the lower-left. These are likely regions with higher iron content.
Dave Englund > 2oz Lake Superior Agate; 5.2cm x 3.4cm x2.5cm. A fine little water polished agate with multiple fractures.
Dave Englund > 3.4oz Lake Superior "Tube" Agate; 5.5cm x 4.5cm x 2.5cm. For reasons as yet unexplained agates can form "tubes" instead of banding. This rock is a bit translucent, and you can just make out some of the wriggly tubes. It would probably be even more impressive if it were polished. Ah! A winter project!!
Dave Englund > 3.6 oz Lake Superior Agate (Saginite); 6cm x 5cm x 3cm. Also, note crystal impressions in lower-center. (Saginite - An acicular variety of rutile occurring in groups of crystals crossing at 60 degrees and often enclosed in quartz or other minerals.)
Dave Englund > Clearly showing the crystal impressions. Also, note the visible rutile fibers to the right.
