You were in the blue mood, right? What a SUPERB turquoise, and the Lapis is not far at all. There's a whole world in that "another" Arizona plume. Adrian

I particularly like the Lapis and the dino, as well as the last plume. Think I like your frosted crystal background better...some how the cabs were more dynamic, less flat But I'm colorblind, what do I know Maybe I just responded to the depth of field. T

That's the first turquoise that I've ever seen that I've actually liked. Lovely! The reds are gorgeous, too.

I'm not a huge Turquoise fan myself either...but that one is really awesome. I like the speckled character of it. The last Plume is my favorite. That one is as Adrian stated..."a whole nother' world." Great bunch as always Ed. Steve

Man I love that Horse Canyon moss. Got to cut me a cab of that one of these days. Years ago when I went on the last field trip allowed in there, I got to see the caretakers cab collection of self collected Horse Canyon agate. The variety was truly incredible; Red moss, green moss, gold moss, white moss. Wonderful feathery plume in all those colors including white plume on black agate, fortification agate, and even good palm root and orbicular agate. Has to be one of the coolest places I've ever collected and the scenery was unbelievable but very high altitude for a low lander. I felt really lousy after the first days hiking and like to passed out every time I bent over for an agate. ....Mel

Thanks. The Horse Canyon agate was a special request from a customer. She sent me a pic of what she wanted-white with slight green moss-and this is what I came up with. I bought a 10lb parcel off ebay a while back and you're right Mel, it's found in all different colors and inclusions. After cutting this one, It makes me want to see what else I've got.

I love all of those, incredible stuff!! I can't pick a favorite, but I can pick 4. The Horse Canyon, Matra Mt, and the last two are totally awesome
