Title: Lucky find
Post by: GooseGossett on May 03, 2013, 12:51:07 pm

I found an old preform that I bought a couple of years ago at the bottom of a bucket.  My lucky day.  It turned out real nice and one of the coolest looking patterns I've seen.  The other is a piece of TX rock that will turn into a father-in-law gift.

I believe it is brazilian agate.  I want to say I've seen them in souvenir stores as well as momentos and trinkets.  I know I saw the same rock for sale as trinkets while in a shop up at silver lake sand dunes in Michigan.
