clydetul62 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 This nice: sorry pics are bad. they were the sellers pics. It's a purple sub. I had it over 14 years before someone finally offered up something to release it from my clutches. We both were very happy. The moss agate has been on my bucket list for a long time.

BuckEye Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Clyde, sometimes it takes knowing that the person on the receiving end will appreciate the marble in the same way you did to let it go, not just to flip it for a profit. And I know you do buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckEye Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I've seen an almost 3" blue. It was many years back at A local auction.
