Got tired of working with South Cady materials and moved to material 20 miles or so to the north. Here's a couple examples from the Northern Cadys - primarily white and grey and blue - but the blue washed out of the pictures in this light. Nodules: Seam with Plume: Together: The extras are two of those Mexican nodules (Agua Nueva or Laguna or whatever) from the estate giveaway a while back: -sorry for the blurred images. I'd reshoot but I've already packed away the pieces. Christmas Tree Agate: And one from a bucket of Mexican material I got from Mel a few years ago. I just cut it. Hey Mel, what is this thing??? Thanks for looking. School starts again tomorrow so you'll get a break from my postings for a while. Lowell

Nice nodules Lowell. My buddy Kevin found a nice purple one very similar to those back in one of those canyons. Very much like your triangular one. I think that last example that you got from me is a Moctazuma agate from Chihuahua, Mexico. The mix that batch of agate came from had Laguna, Coyamito and Moctazuma but that sort of exterior and color combination is pretty typical of the Moctazumas......Mel

Those are all beautiful, but I love that last one. Wonderful colors and crystals in it.
