Scoring treasure at the rock shop

I hit up this rock shop where the owner's juggling a dozen things. One worker brought out rough from the back one old, forgotten stock. I found killer pieces: plume agate, maybe Condor, and it is definitely high grade, I haggled hard, not knowing the value but still walked out with a $15 Piranha. He let it happen, business is business, right?
 
Nice, that's an awesome score!!
Sometimes it's those busy, slightly chaotic shops that are the best places to find forgotten treasures!
If you really found a high-grade Condor Plume Agate for $15, that's pretty incredible, considering how sought after those pieces can be!

Yeah, exactly! The chaos worked in my favor for sure, can't believe I scored that Condor Plume Agate for just $15, it deels like I stumbled on a hidden gem!

Dang. 15 dollars for a condor plume agate? You scored that for the best price. :) Where's this shop, if you don't mind dropping it? Hahaha. If you want to gatekeep I don't think it's nice to pique our attention without a little hint.

Haha fair! It's a little mom-and-pop spot tucked off Highway 20 in Oregon. They don't advertise much, but if you're nearby, it's worth popping in, you never know what's hiding inside

Business is business is right, its part of their everyday operation. Cant do business with half attention to detail. Good score!!

That sounds like a cool, secret hangout spot! Thanks for the heads-up, I'll swing by if I'm ever nearby
