[Rockhounds] Fairburn Agates in South Dakota

[Amazing Agates]

If you get to any of the agate beds, you'll find plenty to collect. 
Actually, it is kind of overwhelming -- rock as far as you can see, much 
of it is quartz (white/rose/smoky), agate, petrified wood, jasper, 
Prairie Agate, etc. Hard to know what to pick up and bring home. Lots of 
poor quality stuff, of course, but you won't leave with empty pockets :-)

It has been fairly warm for this late in the year, so do keep an eye out 
for rattlers.

There is an interesting little rock shop in Okaton, also called Ghost 
Town at exit 183. Worth a quick stop if you have time.

Happy hunting.
