You have some pretty neat rocks there, around here the rocks are mostly plain.

I would have to admit I know next to nothing about the stones you pictured But they are pretty to look at for sure .And another perfect example of how beautiful nature is And also how with some knowledge and effort in can be made to look even nicer .Thanks for posting.

Are those found local to you? Very different than our Lk Superior agates. Unique coloring. Nice eyes.

I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

None of those are local Indiana rock. There are rocks in there from Madagascar, Botswana, Brazil, Montana and a small one from Lake Superior. I love to go Agate hunting on the Lake Superior shoreline and tumble waterwashed Agates and other cool beach stones.
I buy to other stuff from rock shops and places that import rough rocks.

Agate TWP is in the western part of my northern Trapground.
Must be Agates there.How do you tell an agate rock-break it and look inside?

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

The banding and the designs they create. They will have a waxy look to them, they look good when water washed and smoothed by other stones with waves on the beach.

I have many thousands of agates and related semi precious rocks. Most self collected.

Those are neat stones. Not only pretty designs and colors, but unusual patterns and shapes.
Is there a market for agates?

The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
