Slaughter mountain material.

Will have to learn some new techniques if I pick some up.

Don Every time I see your fire agate work, I want to try to carve some myself.
Have I ever tried?
Nope.
Too many other things going on.
I bought some sintered bits about 8 years ago from MoHan.
I have a few nice pieces of rough that show some decent fire.
Someday!

I like those "crackly" pattern pieces from Slaughter Mountain (last image). I haven't seen it much, if ever, in FA from other sources. I'd like to do some more FA work but it isn't "hot" enough to keep me warm in my very chilly shop. I'm working mainly with very old rough mined in the early 1990s from Deer Creek. Slaughter rough seems to be more available now than it was when I was trying to buy it. The Apaches weren't much interested in selling at the time.

It's always a pleasure to see your lapidary and jewelry work.
