Here is My entry for the month. Clear Creek plasma agate. The last two pictures are for the competition. wow wow wow! Gorgeous! Gotta start keeping a list of materials i want to find Thank you, There's a slab available on a Facebook auction right now. I actually bought a slab of it from there because it had magnesite in it and I hadn't seen that before.

Well I just realized it's August and I never finished my cab. I started on a Mary Ellen cab early in the month then time got away from me.
Great entries, good luck everyone!

rockbrainWow! The variety in that is insane! That is horrible that you lost one! I would be really sad and mad. That is some beautiful stuff.

Omg, rockbrain that’s a terrible story, must’ve been really frustrating. That’s a gorgeous cab. Not a material I’m familiar with. I realize now though that it’s the same location that was mentioned in a possible meet up. Wish I could go, that’s some really pretty stuff.👍

khara I just hope someone found it. There was a tall palm tree at the edge of the balcony and the way it was trimmed the old leaf stalks formed pockets all over the trunk. It looked like it went straight though. It turned out to be kind of weird with the guy that let me in to search his balcony downstairs too!

Thanks for showing it off either way. Thanks. Couple lil things in the cab I didn’t like that needed to be fixed. Had some tough competition this month and was like if it’s not perfect, I don’t stand a chance. Still need to get around to finishing it off when I get some time.

Some stuff I found when I was out with Lee this summer. No known deposit, just a hill side I go collect on after a heavy rain. I call it goose ridge.

You should see the slabs I’m trimming up for the winner 😂. I have the day off because I hurt myself, so took the opportunity to fix my saw (found out the blade was dished). I’ll post some slabs here a lil later.

I’m not going to make any extra work for Tommy right now but how come sometimes the collage disappears and just the individual photo links are left? Does it look the same for others?

I love and hate how voting is getting harder and harder. A lot of talent here at RTH.

Congratulations jasoninsd! I'm still blown away by the fact that you found that fantastic stone yourself ... and then turned it in a masterpiece cabochon!
