One of our members self-collects the plasma agate. I know there are a couple cabs in the cab section of it. Love that Cortez Gold!

Love that red and green moss. I do not know anything about plasma agate but it sure is nice! First time I even heard of it was yesterday.

The plasma agate comes from the Clear Creek area in Central Calif. It contains asbestos so use plenty of water when cutting it. I went there with rallyrocks and collected quite a bit of this material. Some of it is well agatized and cabs nicely while other softer pieces just crumble. It also comes in a teal color.

That plasma is nice as are the others. Looks like a good trade.
