Stalk Aggregate from ‘The Carver’

Stalk Aggregate from ‘The Carver’

Ugly name that almost no one has heard of! Enjoy the photos and read Report: Stalk Aggregate Agates if your day is so dull that a stalk aggregate agate might add some spice to it. These two different specimens were found on ‘The Carver’ in early 2018.  No other specimens of the stalk aggregate agate have been found to date on the ‘The Carver’.

Giant ‘Carver’ geode resembles Swiss cheese

Giant ‘Carver’ geode resembles Swiss cheese

This geode was found on ‘The Carver’ in 2017.  It was too large to be cut by my 20″ diamond saw, so I turned to my good Alpine friend, Gordie Sandborn, who has a really huge diamond saw.  Gordie cut it with ease.  It is hard to describe because it is so unique.  I hope you enjoy the photos of the cut and polished geode.  Keep checking with the website as an even larger ‘Carver’ geode has been cut for me by Gordie.  It is unbelievable!
