I got a chance to clean off the slabs in the bucket tonight, all of these are slabs from the material we collected at Challis while we were elk hunting. A group shot The clear agate from the far right in the above pic, closeup and backlit just some agate stuff This does not show up very good in the picture, but this is really quite striking there are some blues in here that do not show up well I can't remember where I picked this up at, I wish I knew because I would go back and get more if I did This one is probably my favorite, it was pretty fractured and the first few slices became tumbler fodder, but the farther in I got the bigger the slices got. I am keeping the last piece as a display piece, it has gorgeous blues and greens, it was part of a vein agate that I dug out of the ground. and the display piece I will post more later if anything unusual or striking shows up, but I have not even touched the pile yet. Might be time for a new saw blade soon! Merry Christmas........................Tony

Beautiful slabs! My favs are the red+yellow one and that blue + green. You could polish that display piece on one face, I think it would come out gorgeous.

Hey Tony those are some really nice slabs. One question though, does your slab saw run 24/7.

That orange and yellow one is my fav. Think harder about where you found it.

Sensational slabs, mate. I love the variety of colours you managed to collect.
