Kentucky Red Agate found by Robbie Robbins on Middle Fork in Estill County, Kentucky. Polished by Mr. Flynn of Wagersville, one of the best red agatemen in the world. I hope before going into a discussion about this particular agate that everyone will carefully look at all the photos I have sent in of this rock. Without my having to say much more, they should speak for themselves. This happens to be one of the very finest agates ever offered on ebay. A classic example of the Kentucky royal agat that agate hunters aspire to own. This is as good as they come with both of the reds, yellow, black and a little calcite. As you can see, it is the end of a geode which I personally like owning better than displaying an agate in any other way. The one photo shows you the backside of this rock and its approximate size in comparison to my hand. This particular rock has a gorgeous pattern. When you walk into a room it catches your eye immediately whether you are an agate collector or not. I have seen small pieces of aghate of this quality (no bigger than your thumbnail) selling for 100 dollars. I would never cut up this rock, its simply too beautiful just as it is. It does not matter who you are in the agate showing competition, this agate can only enhance your collection; it is without doubt, that nice. I am offering this rock for the first time ever. I have never taken it to a show and only a few people have ever seen it (visitors to my home). I have setr a reserve on it that is more than fair, about one half what most "agate experts /dealers" would ask if they had it in theirpossession and for sale. If you are wondering if I am going to be selling any more agate. the answer is plainly NO. What I have left, belongs to my grandson. This is the last great piece I will be offering. You'll not see a piece this nice offered as I am doing again. The Kentucky red agate is the most naturally beautiful rock in the world. It is the rariest agate in the world. And one of this quality is rarer still.
