So, if you "found" them in your house, then where did they originally come from?? (please don't say from the ground)  :facepalm2:

Have you found the $1,000,000 I lost at your place last time I was there?  It was not payment for services rendered. 

BTW - I liked the green one.  I was afraid fire agates only came in brown, and I really, really, really can't stand brown.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

Haha. yes i relise theres a twl over my window in the backround. its because my landlord, has a huge flood light ubove my window. i have to get some sleep! :blonde:

and fire agates, primarily are brown/if they are lower grade. they turn red, (iron oxide) as the quailty increases.

Try to get one with as many different colors in it as possible!
