Welcome to BlairRock

There are as many stories of how a particular rock was found as there are the rocks themselves. In Barstow, California in the late 60's, Robert Stapp and a friend discovered an agate that was so difficult to mine that he said you need "Paul Bunyon" & his Blue Ox to get the stuff off the mountain. Steve Howard prospected for over 30 years in Idaho before he found "Prudent Man" Agate. He then spent countless hours trying to get the claim from the State, battling the old Prudent Man Law. Randy Spade bought the "Bull Canyon" Agate Mine, but he never found anything like the pieces that he obtained from the estate of the former mine owner. The rough was hauled in from the mine in the 1970's, unloaded on the former mine owners land and forgotten about. He had to cut back 30 years of blackberries and dig it out of the ground where it had sunk in. Come on in and read more stories & rumors of how other rock dreamers fared in their quest for a new find.
