How to cook moss agate????(added a couple more pics for you guys)
JackCrafty:
Looks like quartzite with various textures that run from fine to very course. If the crystal structure is too large, it won't cook at any temp.
Bryce:
I got these bad boys out of the agate pits on Maury mountian in Oregon.
I asked a fello rock hound on my way out and he confirmed it. But maybe it's just not meant to be:(
Wolf Watcher:
I have several varieties of Oregon and Washington agates and jaspers and for most of them my turkey roaster at 450 won't cook them. So what I do is cook for maybe three days and sometimes it will work! Joe
Bryce:
3 days!!!???? i can barely convince the woman to let me put them in there for an hour! lol
Bryce:
here are some better picture for you guys. there seems to some flaws in the stone. seems a bit course still. ill crank up the heat and get back to you guys. like always your thoughts and advice is always welcome.
