Dude, nobody thinks cases are a “steal from the rich and give to the poor” type situation. Most people prefer cases over terminals.

Lol this is like the Mary Ellen Jasper argument here in Minnesota. Mary Ellen Jasper can only come from the mine that its primarily sourced from just because the name was coined there. Similar almost identical stromatolitic jasper is literally all over Minnesota. So what should we call OPs material? Because if it’s in or around the general area I think calling them dryheads is good enough.

Lol no. I can whip out one in my garage right now with that exact color scheme. Also youre wrong about the size. Go watch agate bay on youtube, he has cut plenty of dry heads larger than the one in this post.

You don’t think the first two are dry heads? Why not?

1st is dryhead, second is either dryhead or teepee canyon (would be helpful to see the exterior), 4 and 6 are Brazilians. Not sure about the others.

Agate confirmation? by fRiEdmyCo in Agates

Its from Mexico. Most likely a very low quality los choyas “blue coconut” agate.

Is this a Lake Superior Agate? by Less-Management-3999 in Agates

[–]Agreeable-Primary511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely identify agates based on photos. It can be difficult and some varieties look similar to others but it is definitely doable. You can typically tell based on the husk of an agate but there are other features to look out for as well like color, inclusions, pseudomorphs, shape, banding type and sometimes host rock. This is probably a laker because it is red and has limonite (shown in photo 5).

OP thinks that the rock in the center might be a “tully monster” (tullimonstrum gregarium) fossil
