FAIRBURN1

Fairburn agates are incredibly rare. I have hunted for them before in South Dakota and found nothing for two days (others spend months and find none). I found this in an old collection, and it still has the sticky tape label on the back (pictured). It is not polished or damaged at all. It weighs 104 grams.
