    Agate Dad! I have rocks from the Snake River Valley Idaho! I've suspected they are agates as some of them have wear marks on them that are 'shiney'. There's a fist size piece of churt, and also a large smooth rock that has lines all around it from top to bottom, that I want to see what the inside looks like.
    I found the possible agates just laying on top of the dirt in a field and the churt and the other one I found when digging in a yard to plant a bush and a tree - one in the front yard and one in the back. HOW DO I contact you to get your costs for cutting these. I would pay for shipping both ways and give you half of each rock - if you wanted it; and you could pick the half!
    Oh WOW1 That black/white cut is Stunning! As well as the one that when you held the two cuts side by side looked like angel wings.

    i think it would be great but its' my idea so of course i see it's greatness.
