More from the last couple months... Amethyst Sage...Not my best cab of this material, but I had to cab the little tree Brenda... The only piece I found worth cabbing when Frank and I went there a couple years back. We really need to go with someone who knows the site Crazy Lace/ Bubble Lace. And then just Crazy Lace. The black line really shows in the picture. Not so much in the hand. Graveyard Point...Self-collected in 2015 or 16. Franks granddaughter found this hillside with lots of material Another Graveyard, I think. Picked this up a long time ago at a show labeled GP. The green makes me wonder, but the plumes are right. Singleton Ranch. Gonna miss this stuff next time I go to Texas. More opal than agate and I know right where it is . This slice was very brittle and the cab kept shrinking. More Texas...East Needle Peak. A gold breccia in a very dark green Moroccan Kerrouchen Seam Agate Tahoma Jasper, from Washington I believe. One of the few times I've seen colors I like in this material at Quartzsite. Namibian Shattuckite (Azurite heavy ) Sonoran Plume agate. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for looking. More to come. Craig

Some beauties. I particularly was struck by the little juniper (or pinyon) tree in the amy sage, and that Tahoma is really weird and eye-catching (yes, Washington: Mt. Tahoma is the old name for Mt. Rainier).
I think Graveyard Point is possible (even likely) for that pretty green with the white plumes. I have seen green in graveyard, but that is particularly vibrant - appropriate for St. Pat's Day.

Wow, more top shelf material masterfully cut! I really dig the strange ghost-like face in the Tahoma!

Beautiful all, but that self collected graveyard with the golden plumes is magnificent!

I have a fair amount of that material from Rare Rocks and Gems but it's all narrow seam material. The slab this came from was about 4x4 inches and only had plumes on one side, but now it makes sense. I was told it was an old slab. Thanks Roy And thanks to everyone else as well for your kind words. Craig
