I should have done this earlier but.....................you know me! I am doing a small craft show Sat and will be selling some slabs. I really need to know what these are before I price and sell these. Please, if you know what they are or even what they might be..........please tell me. I posted the tiny pics so you can click them and see the detail in the larger pics. Thanks everyone!! #1 This one has a blueish tint to the dark part. #2 I photoed this one wet and then dry. This one has chatoyance! Sort of like labradorite. #3 The center of the red splotches seems like a metallic of some sort. Maybe hematite? #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9

The only one I know for sure is #3 - Mexican Crazy Lace.

The last two pics look sorta like medicine bow agate, but I'd have to see a slice of it to be sure.

that could be medicine bow, but mine was more white with black spots and more solid. The rest look like things i label, misc......... lol #7 and #5 i have also, and i got 100 different names of what it might be, so i settled for misc.

Wow! Been busy saddle shopping with my wife and heading a wildlife advisory board lately so I've not had much time to look at the RTH lately. This is a tough bunch Sheri. #1 appears to be Franciscan Chert from the Calif. Coast Range. #2 no clue, #3 definitely Crazy Lace, #4 unknown #5 dendritic opalite of the sort found in Nevada, #6 clueless, #7 Orbicular ( bird's eye) rhyolite #8 dunno, #9 Looks like opalite either from Valley Springs area or Mojave in Calif.......Mel
