Right. A safety video: It’s totally OSHA-approved OSHA approved you say...  |

Might as well grab a sniffer for that confined space while you’re packin’ up.  |

Here's an unusual Teepee Canyon Agate. I found it in the same vein as the other ones so far...   |

That's a great example of some of the colors that can be found! Are you planning on going back to Teepee Canyon if you get out here this summer? Here's an unusual Teepee Canyon Agate. I found it in the same vein as the other ones so far... I always like the outliers. Very cool agate, and you did a great job with it. Thanks Stephan! I've seen "similar" type of outlier pattern in some Crazy/Laguna Lace material. I was surprised though to see it in material from Teepee Canyon. |

I was surprised though to see it in material from Teepee Canyon. It’s amazing, the amount of similar features that can be found in agates from Chihuahua State and your neck of the woods. Since both are formed in a silica/limestone matrix, there must be something about that chemistry that leads to lacy fortifications, speckles and orbs. |

Now if that could just point me in the direction of the really amazing ones! LOL |

Two more from tonight. They both have small fracture lines in them. The one with the "hole" in it is reminiscent of the Cold Mountain Thunderegg miket just did. It was challenging due to the "flat" spot at the top of the dome. I thought I might get this into the contest this month as it's 2" high, but I didn't have enough rock to go wider than this.   |

The second one is ultra nice.
Did you fill the vug with anything while cabbing?

I had to glue the dop off-center due to where it came out on the backside as I didn't want glue going into the hole. |

Both of those are amazing! You are on a roll. I love the cave in the second, but the fortifications in the first are pretty incredible. |

I thought the colors in the fortifications might be a little brighter than they ended up being in that second one. Overall, the entire cab is "darker" than I expected...so I guess it's a "dark cave"!

Looking thru the rubble actually turns up quite a few nice ones. |

Other than the one seam of nodules I found, I haven't seen anything else to be dug. I was having good luck going through some of the rubble as well... |

Both of those are really nice. My favorite is the second one though, because druzy!  |
