Here's a bit 'o eye candy for ya First a chunk of Queensland Agate I picked up on ebay a while back. Kinda crusty and hard to say how it was gonna look inside.. Took a little bite out of it tonight and.. Oh yeah! A very cool little chunk of Jasper from the Panama Canal Malachite/Chrysocolla from the Ray Mine I was taken by the orbs. Both of the above I picked up in Globe recently. Leathers Ranch Plume Nice white plumes on purple agate, very cool! Picked this up at one of Philip's Rarerocks auctions. As always, thanks a bunch for looking!

Whew...I had to revive myself after seeing the Queenie! I thought I had lost that one but I must have been sleeping when you stopped by my rockshed and borrowed that one. Thanks for cutting it for me too! ;D No fractures and a perfect speciman. Love those hidden treasures. Your other rocks ROCK too! Steve

That queensland agate is fantastic! There could be less land and more ocean in the southern Emisphere, but hey, what a quality of land (looking at that Queensland Agate and thinkin' of the rocks collected in Patagonia by the Birnie's). The Malachite/Chrysocolla is also a "dentist rock", meaning you have to open the mouth when you see it Adrian

Whew the Queenie and the Leathers Ranch are truly drool worthy. That Canal Zone Jasper is pretty cool too. I've seen some interesting stuff come out of that area including some great looking silicified coral.....Mel

Wow, that malachite/chrysocolla is very interesting, and the panama canal jasper looks like it's got fireworks in it! I can't wait to see cabs from that one!

Call me simple, but I like the Panama Jasper. It's fascinating to think how those snowflakes (or fireworks?) got stuck in that rock.

The Panama is very nice. Will it shine up well? I looks like it would have some really cool cabs come from it. Karock
