Well Here is a thin slice I made at the end of the rock. Slabs to follow at some point. The real thin ones are great for use in earrings where weight is a consideration. The sparkly green is marcasite.

Wow, that really is thin. What is that about 3 or 4mm thick?

More like 2mm. It is a real clear agate.
