Thanks for the welcome. My marbles look tame compared to those delicious agates that Scott has.

What are the sizes of your agates? Are all antiques? Green ones that I have purchased weren't antiques that I can tell.

I'm a newbie to this wonderful marble board. Started collecting marbles about 7 years ago when I found some antique agates (mostly carnelian types) in a drawer at an antique store in Covina, CA. I later found a couple of dyed blue agates with nice bullseyes at Kobeys Swap Meet in San Diego. Since the first find, I got stuck on machine mades and other antiques and even contemporaries. If I can get a camera to take pics, I would like to show some of my marbles here. This is my first post to the board after "spying" for a week or so. Really enjoy the pics and helpful (and kind too) comments.
