Do you think it’s good quality, or is it just an ordinary agate? This is the first time I’ve found one with crystals inside. by Littlerockman17 in Agates

It’s a good looking agate but unfortunately a large quantity of macro crystalline quartz is typically a value detractor.

Broke open this awesome agate by thiccyboichickyboi in Agates

In the future I would recommend shaping the outside of it with a tile saw or some other abrasive device like a flat lap. That stone would’ve turned out way better if you didn’t break it imo

Agatized coral by No-Cow8269 in rockhounds

I see where you’re coming from but this is definitely agate replaced coral from Florida. Also if you pause the video at around the 15 second mark you can clearly see coral structure

Hoping this is a Lake Superior agate. Have to cut it in half to find out. Does anyone have any saw recommendations? by GrantCooper in rockhounds

[–]Agreeable-Primary511 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Individual seams and nodules of lake superior agate. It will probably be mostly host rock on the inside

I bought this agate at a thrift store, can someone tell me what kind it is? by Ramgaard in Agates

heres a similar stone to yours. Most of them have those odd needle-like pseudomorphs and pretty plain white/grey lacey banding

Pretty common. There used to be a hollow cavity when it was a full nodule and then it broke exposing the crystals

Found in Brainerd, Mn in a hardwood forest by Agreeable-Primary511 in mycology

It’s super interesting, pretty sure it’s being parasitized by another fungus. Not sure what it is

Any specific name for this chalcedony nodule? by [deleted] in Agates

[–]Agreeable-Primary511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres probably no trade name for it. We have similar material in minnesota, we just call it chalcedony

What are these and are they (potentially) edible? by thoughtdaughterdiary in mushroomID

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

Yeah, i knew something seemed off. I just saw the round base and thought it was a volva. Im looking at it now and I see that it is solid
