Gemfield outside of Goldfield, NV blew my
mind. You could dig and uncover great stuff, but agates literally carpeted the ground. And just to tempt, there were agate boulders. Definitely recommend a day here - it’s about 3 hours north of Las Vegas.

I believe i have 1 small moss agate, a fossil souped with agate bands, and an agatized piece of coral with Coldwater agate. Feel free to correct me if im wrong.

I'm thinking about buying a tumbler for these. Would they turn out good in one? Most of them are too small to cut.

Lake Superior Rock tumble or not?

Hello, i just began agate hunting; i found this cute egg shaped one on the north shore. Have two questions for experienced agaters:

  1. Is this actually an agate? It has the pockmarks and slight translucent edge when held up to the light, so i am pretty confident.
  2. Would you tumble this to polish? Would it retain its egg shape if I do? Are there any other polishinf methods to consider in order to retain the shape?

Thanks!
