Been working here and there on my piles of rock. Here's a sample of what turned out okay. Agate Creek, Australia (from the bins behind Diamond Pacific, Barstow) Mexican fire agate (from Harris Estate sale last year) Plume/Flame agate from Field Trip two weeks ago to the Southern Cady's (admittedly polished by a friend) Mexican Agates from Allmen estate giveaway last month: [I had thought they might be Agua Nueva but the main opinion went against this - so here's some more to ponder) (1st already seen but colors look great in the sun:) AND finally - the one that I started to polish along a broken side and it turned out to have the tightest, most complex banding of anything I've worked. I need to cut behind the curved face I polished to see what the banding is like through the middle: Moctazuma (spelling?) Both from Mel's moving sale: Mexican Sonoran Red Hot: Mexican Agate (from Mel's moving sale) Thanks for lookin' Lowell

Wow, you have some beautiful stones. I just love the agates with the white on white kind of banding and you have several of them. They are all really special.

Super Lowell! The Queenie and the 2nd Moctezuma are my favs! It's always amazing to me how quickly the pattern can change in these little agates. Love em'! Steve
