What I do with my smaller agates!

[Zee]

I like to look for agates, and I like to look for old bottles. So one day I kinda decided to combine the idea a little bit, I recently found a heap of Vicks Formula 44 bottles from probably around the 70s, they arent really worth anything themselves... so I decided to use them for some of my smaller agates, Just clean 'em up and dump 'em in with some water. Makes a nice little display piece anyways!

Welcome to the site and thats a nice looking display. I do the same thing but with broken artifacts I find I put them in old mason jars.

there are a couple things you could do with them,
1, send them to me
2 seriously, see if any grade schools will take them. You could go to individual teachers & ask, better chance than going to principle. I subbed at our local school & was amazed at the interest the kids had in my rocks. We would go out during recess & look for fossils in the playground gravel. & I was able to give each kid in the science class a little quartz crystal found in ARK. They still talk to me about rocks when they see me & this was 10 yrs ago.
Some day I will go to your neck of the woods & find some of those gorgeous agates. That is on my bucket list. But I have to wait til I have $ to buy enough bug spray to ward off the mosquitos you have up there. MO's bugs are bad, but I hear yours are bigger, badder & meaner.
