Agate for the "Slab and Cab" People !
It's often hard to show rough chunks of agate because the beauty is all inside. If you really want to see what this agate looks like, check out the cabs in the pictures. But this one reveals a lot.
My dad collected his Graveyard Point when I was busy with my own career in software development. I wasn't around, but my dad was in his collecting prime -- he was a great rockhound. I sent a chunk to "Ed" who owns a rock shop in Texas. I told Ed that I almost chucked the rock I sent to him into Surprise Wash next to my house. Ed sent the picture of the cab back and said he wanted to know exactly where Surprise Wash was so he could drive up and rockhound there. The piece Kenneth polished is a slightly different variety of Graveyard Point. Hey! It's a seam agate. Seam agate always varies.
The Gem Shop also has a great page about Graveyard agate ... It's over twenty years old now but still the best resource I could find for learning about it:
Gem Shop - Graveyard agate
"Graveyard Point Agate is a well-known seam agate found in far eastern Oregon. The area is only seven miles from Homedale, Idaho and just across the Idaho-Oregon border." My dad was probably there not too long after the site was discovered by rockhounds.
Believe it or not, making a big profit isn't why I do this. What I REALLY want is feedback from rockhounds about my dad's rocks. And I'm willing to send them out at incredible low prices to get the feedback.
There is one catch. The shipping charge (USPS retail for a flat rate padded envelope -- currently $10.60) is a big part of your cost. But if you order another rock and I can fit everything in the same package, it will only cost you one shipping fee for everything. We can do it as a "custom order" to make it even easier.

USPS Flat Rate Medium Box Used to Ship
This will be shipped in a USPS "flat rate" padded envelope at the USPS shipping charge of $10.60. You can save money on shipping by ordering several items together so you only pay one shipping charge. Or, to set up a custom order, just send me a message and I'll take it from there.
