Thanks for your thoughts on this stuff everyone! ![:)](//storage2.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I had considered Stinking Water, but had never seen examples with these colors and inclusions. Mostly just the white ‘feathers’ in clear agate. I have more of this rough, and it actually came from two different collections. It sounds like Mark K and Vince have also run into it as well. My guess is at some point a miner found and dug out this material peripheral to a known site (maybe near Graveyard Point as realrockhound and Vince mentioned) and brought it down to Quartzsite or Tucson to sell. It ended up in a few collections. Who knows? Thanks for chiming in!

Wow, great cab Brian! And I can't see any fractures either, which is unusual for that scarce agate. Thanks Mel! Yeah I was surprised by how solid this little slab was.

Well... it's not that old I suppose. Cut this one in November right after I moved the Genie up north to the cabin (cabbin’ at the cabin) ![:D](//storage2.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Just now getting around to post the pics. ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/r74/beefjello/IMG_1250.JPG) ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/r74/beefjello/IMG_1272.JPG) Hope to get back into the cab game again here soon. ![(thumbs-up)](//storage2.proboards.com/1258779/images/NwJWLOkrXgqcNjdpoXel.gif)

Thanks for tagging me on this Tommy I documented both trips I took out this way 14 and 12 years ago (hard to believe its been that long!). I too became.. um.. ‘obsessed’ for a while trying to find an easier way to get there (up north past Horseshoe). I realized back then that without a 4x I didn’t have much chance. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/22739/spring-break-trip-pixforum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/37001/spring-break-trip-lotsa-pixLike AzRockGeek said, most of the purple sagenite float was collected long ago. But from what I understand, digging in that area (just above the last switchback to the crossing) can yield some stellar results! drocknut take a look at the first pic in my second thread in comparison to yours. Yours is a much better pic, but I do believe we were standing right about the same spot ![8-)](//storage2.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)
