Wow, holy smokes, that was a close one.  agatewhisperer congrats on a well-deserving win with a gorgeous cabochon. Robin hummingbirdstones your creation was absolutely beautiful and also well-deserving of a solid win. I have to admit that as I watched it come down to the wire I was secretly hoping it would end in a tie so we could have a run-off vote and let these stones duke it out again   |

Here's my entry. Thunder egg? Came in a mix box from roy a while back. [Edit] adding the name from Roy: agate from mexico next to the cathedral claim called ghost Now that the contest is finished - and with all due respect to roy - I do think your piece looks a whole lot like a McDermitt thunderegg. I would even go one step further and say that I think it's a 79 Bed egg from McDermitt. With permission from the claim owner Roy and Tony took a group of us up there in 2016 and I cut quite a lot of them that look identical very similar to your slice.  |

What a great group of cabs from everyone that entered, and am humbled on the outcome. This was a very challenging theme, and am impressed with all the entries. Especially beautiful cab hummingbirdstones ! |

Beautiful entries and fun to watch the voting.
Hopefully we can get more than a day above zero at a time here this month so Ali and I can get an entry done 🤞

Congrats to everyone who entered! I thought there were at least 4 that were very close and could have won.
Now when will this month's theme be announced? 1/3 of February is already gone.

agatewhisperer - What a fantastic win...very well-deserved! I kept seeing the votes between you and Robin teeter back and forth for the last week. That was fun to watch...well...at least for me it was! LOL - When you get a chance, shoot me a PM with your address and I'll get that box of Teepee Canyon Agate slabs sent out to you.  ETA - I also wanted to thank everyone who participated in this month's challenging contest! It was super fun to see what people could accomplish leaving the natural edge!
