Beautiful, they almost have the glare of the fire agate. Glad to see you again, Ken! Adrian

Ooh, those are really interesting! I agree with Adrian. They almost look like fire agate. I wonder what species of coral that originally was.

Those are beautiful. With the color of the matrix and the depth of the agate, it looks a little like Jelly Opal, or maybe it's Mexican Opal; one of the opals

Ken those are very pretty. I've got some T.B. agatized coral but its not that deep a color. I might just have to try some of it now that you've wet my appetite.

Very sweet, like the carmel color. I can walk to tampa bay. but i never find stuff like that. always broken oyster shells. The suncoast lapidary club had a gem and mineral show last week, there was a table full of rough and slabs the guys had some but I passed it up da-- it man. if I had only known. they look great!!

Hi Ken,
Long time no hear from. lol Love the cabs. I have family in Tampa, or near Tampa and I have hit them up for some Tampa Bay Coral a couple of times. I think they still think I am crazy. Still no coral from them. I am afraid to go visit them. the last time I did I had to rent a uhaul and had it filled with cypress knees and cedar and I forget what else. That was another hobby. I think I could get rich if I could just get rid of all my hobbies.
Hope
