Looks Like Lake Superior
Linda Weinmann writes: "I found an agate a few years ago that had bands on it that completely looked like the Big Lake! I found it on the shore of Lake Superior at Fenstad's Resort in Little Marais, MN, a wonderful family-owned resort where my family has vacationed our whole lives. I've always treasured this rare find, one that is truly a Lake Superior agate!"
