How big?  Are you talking about solid carnelian, or are you simply referencing that color agate, banded or not?

Solid would be nice. But I do t really care.
Large enough to get some points made up out of it.

I will have to look when the weather breaks.  That stuff is in buckets in the back.  I am sure there is some Brazilian, but I don't know if there is anything slabbed.  I am not sure of the colors.

If the weather holds I might go out collecting on Saturday. If I find any good chunks I will let you know. I had sent a rather large one that I thought was carnelian to Jack Crafty when we had the box exchange. He sent me a real nice 4 inch blade that i think was made out of it. He did say it worked a lot like alabates.

Tom's stone cooks up real nice, whatever it is.  I've still got some left from the trade that I'm saving up for one of those special days of mental clarity.   :)
