So many pretty ones!
Could they go on coffee mugs or tee shirts?
Thanks.

Priday Plume? I believe that to be a slab that I bought at the Lucky Strike mine.

Tommy Do you know the name of agate image #5? I believe this also to be a slice of Lucky Strike mine thunderegg. In 2016 I think it was I was able to find several slabs at the mine store that were loaded with that gorgeous pink moss.

Holt Canyon? To be honest I can't say for sure anymore. I think it's Bloody Basin from a slab I bought but now that you mention it I did find some pretty killer plumes in Holt Canyon.

Marcasite from a California Thunderegg? Nipomo marcasite, yes sir. I don't think it was a thunderegg though - I got it as a 20+ lb rock when buying some rocks at an estate sale - the lady tossed it in for free. I had no idea what it was until later when folks here helped me ID it.

Picture 15 looks like a Martian landscape with an approaching UFO, stars in the sky. Awesome

Beautiful. I can get lost wandering through each and every one of them. Look like alien landscapes. RocksInNJ might get homesick looking at these.

Picture 15 looks like a Martian landscape with an approaching UFO, stars in the sky. Awesome Good eye - honestly that's one of my favorite rocks I've ever cut. It's basically a square (large) cabochon preform from the center of a thunderegg but the scene is so beautiful that I've never been able to start grinding on it. Obviously if I make a cabochon out of it a lot of the magic of the scene will be lost - plus for reasons I don't remember it turned out like 3/8 of an inch thick and that has sapped my motivation to grind as well.
