Here's the latest group of specimens I've finished up. Mexican Piece (from Mel's backyard) (I tried to crop them or reduce the size, but the colors muted a bit - so you get HUGE photos.) I thought this was going to be carnelian when I cut it, but it possessed this central yellow section. Does carnelian ever have this, or is this from elsewhere? Plume agate from Northern Cady's (self-collected). The bright light washed out some of the detail in the plumes. The smallest red nodule (Mexican - bought whole at a show) didn't come out well in the shot I took of it - so no smaller image. Enjoy, Lowell

Your mystery piece looks like a Queenie ( Queensland Agate) There were a few of those in my yard stuff if that's where you got it. That an interesting plume you found. Amazing how many types of plume are in the Cadys...Mel
