This is an agate I've been
carrying with me ever since I found it back in about 1960 in the roots of
a large uprooted tree in New Hope, Minnesota. I was about 6 years
old at the time and on my way to swimming lessons. I was in a
bathing suit, no pockets, so I hid it in the roots and worried about
it the whole time I was at the lake. It is still one of my most favorite
treasures.
