Big Chunk of Graveyard Point Agate
My dad collected his Graveyard Point when I was busy with my own career in software development. I wasn't around, but my dad was in his collecting prime -- he was a great rockhound. I sent a chunk to "Ed" who owns a rock shop in Texas. I told Ed that I almost chucked the rock I sent to him into Surprise Wash next to my house. Ed sent the picture of the cab back and said he wanted to know exactly where Surprise Wash was so he could drive up and rockhound there. The piece Kenneth polished is a slightly different variety of Graveyard Point.
The Gem Shop also has a great page about Graveyard agate ... It's over twenty years old now but still a good resource. Another great page was created by Oregon Discovery.

"Graveyard Point Agate is a well-known seam agate found in far eastern Oregon and far western Idaho. The area is only seven miles from Homedale, Idaho and on the Idaho-Oregon border." My dad was there fifty years ago, when the site started to become really popular. Today, much of the area is claimed and mined with heavy machines.
