Love fire agate!!! I went to a rock sale a few years back of a real deal rock hoarder. Their entire backyard was piled with rocks they had hounded, selling for 50 cents a pound!!!(disaster for me) I was about ready to leave and looked around one of the outbuildings and found a scattering of fire agate. It was the second day of the sale so I'm sure the really good stuff was picked, but still walked away with some really nice specimans.
Sounds like a wonderful day. I had coworker years ago that was selling her house. I inherited a couple hundred pounds of great material. That fire agate was one of the pieces the old timer found. I've got a crate that'a about half full of thundereggs from the same stash.
