tribeunited I think #6 might be Regency Rose Plume Agate. Thank you so much hummingbirdstones ! That means I was so close with my Graveyard point!!! No gold star for me, just more wagon fails and bus rides. *sigh* I'll learn these some day! Hope you're doing well! Nice to see you around here  Thank you very much for helping out! You were really close!.  No bus rides for you. I'm doing fine, thanks. Just had a bat shit crazy client that tried my sanity. Luckily she is now history.  |

Just spitballin here but #1 has some characteristics known to old collection Eagle Rock plume agate ... black plume areas giving way to salmon color agate. realrockhound would probably have a better perspective on this possibility. #5 I know beyond a shadow of a doubt ... I just can't remember the name  It's from AZ and it's ... banded serpentine? Something like that. I got a big hunk of it from AzRockGeek a number of years ago - he'll remember I hope. I think he collected it. |

hummingbirdstones - History? Hiding Bodies? Remind me not to get on your bad side Tommy - Thank you! You're right about the #5 - I found it named "arizona Banded Serpentine." I also saw a few calling it frogskin serpentine, but I'm not sure if that's accurate. In any case, Arizona and banded serpentine were spot on so thank you! I'll try searching for that old eagle rock you mentioned if we don't hear from realrockhound . So thanks for the lead on that one, I'll update if I figure anything out! Edited - Update - Checked out that old stock Eagle Rock - I also think you're right on this one. It might be a lower grade one, or just sorely need a polish. I think I might play with it a bit and see if I can get some detail to pop out of the black area. Thanks again Tommy! Thanks everyone! I really didn't have high hopes going into challenge edition slabs - they really had me stumped. I figured if I was able to find one, that would e a win. I'm glad the experts came out to play on this one

I think he collected it. #5 does look very similar to the Young Serpentine. Here are a few examples.   |
