This agate is very solid, the large chunks literally ring when hit and the agate takes a glass like gloss.
It is not a seam agate. We traced it into a 30 by 20 yard spot and it formed very weird. Look at the photo of the bottom of a piece and you can clearly see roots. We can’t figure it out. There is probably only about 2 to 3 tons of this agate if we are right about where it is. It seems to be a flow formation away from a formation of some type. I hope Frank sees this post and perhaps he knows how this would occur in such a small area.
I think we had at least 1,300 pounds in my little S-10 and maybe as much as 1,500 pounds! I have a highly modified suspension and top end tires – air bags were at 75 pounds of air and the rear still was LOW!
The piece in the 24 inch saw was well over 100 pounds and the one in the 18 inch saw was over 30 pounds.
Note the one gallon paint can in the photo of the row of agate pieces for scale as to size.
