Oh I love looking at your photos! So hard to decide which are my favorites, you find so many good ones. How do you display them Ian?

Such variety and awesome patterns. Your self collected agates are fantastic. If I were to chose a favorite it would be 2.9 with all the rest tied for second. Nice batch and thanks for the show.

Truly awesome, although the very tiptop one is my fave!

Another great show you've put on, the colors and patterns are impressive. My wife and I both enjoyed seeing them. Thank you.

Thanks for all your kind comments! Snowmom, I don't have any good way of displaying them yet. I just have them in a number of big bowls in the house. I am looking into ordering some display trays in future.
Ken, 2.9 is my favourite too. The pattern and variety of colours is unusual. I remember the surprise when I cut it open as it was very plain on the outside.
Cheers!

Cool agates as usual, Ian! 2.15 is different. It's not my favorite, but I like it!

They are all supremely wonderful, but this one is my favorite! Love the tight banding. Reminds be of a tree's growth rings.

Very nice collection, 2.13 stood out to me but they are all pretty amazing. Must've been a fun time hounding those! Thanks for sharing all the pictures.
