Thanks Al! I have all my material separated into ziplock bags with a tag inside the bag identifying each material...each material gets put into its own individual bag...so this hodge podge is going to drive me crazy not being labeled - and all in the same gallon ziplock bag! LOL |

I see nothing wrong with those, Jason jasoninsd! They'll keep you busy and out of trouble for awhile, anyway. I know you'll enjoy working on them. Hoping for good weather for you later this week. Nothing worse than rain on clay, unless you are driving something with a track! Otherwise, slip-and-slide city, lol. Not too much fun. |

I don't know about keeping me out of trouble...it seems to find me no matter what! LOL I should have taken a "before" pic. I really didn't think there was much of anything worth working until I cleaned them up and sliced some edges off. Thanks for the weather well-wishes. Fingers crossed. |

Sagenite burst or pom pom and sagenite fibrous formation in same position in picture number 5 is my guess. Texas Needle Peak and Mexico have similar material. Several other pieces look like they might have come from the same area.

Quite awhile ago I purchased an inexpensive...I could say cheap...lot of "stuff". Since this is a family oriented forum, that's the "S" word I will choose to use here. - What I saw was "stuff" when I got it...but now I can see there's some pretty cool pieces in here. I spent several hours going through what had to have been close to 1.5 gallons of this "stuff"...looking for some diamonds in the rough (pun intended!). A lot of this was end pieces from the seller slabbing "stuff" and then tumbling those end pieces. I took the time to carefully make slabettes out of pretty much anything wider than 1/4". Some material is less than 1/4", but I think I can still make cabs out of everything. I know there's some Montana Agates...lots of petrified wood...there's one piece that looks like it has Marcasite (third pic top left)...several moss agates...some banded agates...maybe a couple Brazilian Agates. All in all, these should make some pretty cool cabs eventually. Just thought I'd share some pics. Nice pieces You should make a table top I already did. It was in the first picture. Did you like it? |

Nice! Lots of variety in there.
Looks to me like the 3 orange moss pieces could possibly be Mexican flame agate.

Thanks Robin! You might be right on those being Mexican Flame Agates. When I was cleaning them up, they all said "Gracias!". (Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip the wait staff!) |

You've got some cool stuff, and you may even have two pieces of marcasite.
