jasoninsd the execution of those cabs is exquisite. Thanks Randy! I had never heard about Holt Canyon until aDave sent me a chunk of it. I fell in love instantly! LOL Beautiful cabs jasoninsd , awesome way to showcase the material! Thanks Ashley! I think whoever ends up with this rough is going to be thrilled!! The agate from Wyoming is SO like Montana Moss Agate. I remember there being an agate from Wyoming talked about some time ago...and it was called a Sweetwater Moss Agate...to me, it totally looks like what Randy is offering. Randy, could the WY agate be Sweetwater? |
