Here's 4 slabs from some Indonesian Coral rough I picked up at Q in January. It has some nice areas, but overall not quite what I had hoped for Here's a couple I got from Rodney (lonetreestudios) last weekend Thanks Rod! Debbie (puppie96) sent me this one last week. She found it in a creek in Missouri Thanks Deb! Another from Rodney, Tampa Bay Coral sliced in half And here's a chunk of Lajitas Palm from Texas I cut in half Thanks for checking these out!

What is the size of the Missouri -Acrocyathus coral ? i would cut it, im sure it will be good, looks well silisified, they can be pink,blue and white. the brown outer is iron staining from the water.

I love the tampa bay piece, too. I also think you should chop open that Missouri piece!

Cool stuff Brian! That 4th pic of the one that Debbie sent you looks alot like some that I find when I hunt my chert/flint material below my local powerdam flats. They are like a conglomerate of coral horns bunched together. I also love the palm- very cool stuff!

Beautiful materials, both the coral and the palm wood.
