ARRRRRRRRRRRGH

ALL I WANT IS A DEFINITION OF 'EAGLE EYE AGATE' VERSUS OTHER KINDS OF AGATE

QUIT THROWING THE METAPHYSICAL MUMBO JUMBO AT ME

I CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT MY FIST THROUGH THE LAPTOP SCREEN RIGHT NOW


ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH



and no, my usual trick of adding 'mohs' to the stone name does not work in this case because then all I get is stuff about tiger's eye and pietersite, neither of which is the stone that I am looking at

aaaaaaaaaaaargh

....is a photo of this agate available?

[camwyn]

I can't get you a link to it from this computer, because I use a VPN and for whatever reason Fire Mountain Gems gets all hissy and won't let me connect via VPN (I've had this happen where a few sites screech hysterically about how they can't POSSIBLY open a secure connection because MEANIE VPN WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH), but if you go to http://www.firemountaingems.com and look for 40mm agate cabochons, it'll be there.

.......my aunt has died so i cannot ask her to confirm, but i am 99.99% certain that the formal definition of “eagle eye agate” is “oh neat we cut and polished An Agate and it looks like an eye now”

Fair enough. Given that 'bumble bee jasper' turned out to be 'not actually jasper but layers of rock that formed due to something volcanic and we thought we'd call it jasper because people recognized the name', I wanted to make sure 'eagle eye agate' was actually agate.

i don’t want to say for sure without handling a few, but it actually being agate seems pretty likely
