[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 18809, member: 378"] Wow! What a stunning piece of Agate that is! Always had a soft spot for Agates myself. I guess it was one of the first rocks I had ever seriously looked for (other than opal) as a kid. We have a lot of white Quartz gravel quarries around the area and most have small Agates, Chalcedony, Onyx and the odd Topaz here and there. I could easily add Rhodochrosite and Natrolite to my favorite minerals also. I have a chunk of Natrolite here that my father and uncle found at Peat's Ridge NSW back in 67. The crystals are as fine as needles and are still intact today as luckily it was put inside a protective glass case. My Uncle hit a huge boulder that they were sitting on (after an unsuccessful day of looking) and it happened to have a nice geode of Natrolite crystals inside. Kindest regards, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
