[Rockhounds] 83.8lbs Lucas Creek WA Agate Find

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

A quick google search turned up 2 inch agate spheres for $40, 4 inch 
for $300, and 6 inch for $1200 (and I didn't find anything bigger). The 
trend looks good.

That find might make a 12 inch sphere. Sotheby's may be a good idea, 
but if it were mine I'de want to enjoy it for a while first (and look 
for the other half).
