It is a beautiful piece chadrack! I have it sitting on the table as is on display.
 We went out yesterday, and the weather was great! We were finding large pieces of eggs all over the place. Timmy sure has the eye for Thundereggs. Here is a huge piece of one that was sticking out of the ground. I helped him dig it out, and wow what a find!!  The whole bottom half of it is crystals below the bands. This one is sure going to clean up nicely! Pictures of it cleaned up coming soon.  Good eye Timmy!

Looks like large yellow calcite crystals on top of the brown and clear agate bands. Being a surface find sticking out of the hillside, lots of the crystals are damaged, but he loves it!  He likes it so much it ended up in his room. All 17 pounds of it!  Good thing hes cute.  We need to make sure we balance out the weight of these rocks in the house anyways.  -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
