It is smaller than I usually do but what the heck. I think it is Copco Agate except the slab that it came from is much bigger that I usually see from this material. It might be a Lincoln Agate from Southern Oregon. Lincoln agate comes from a now defunct logging town just across the border from the Copco location. The cab is 1 1/4" high. Bob

Bobby, what you do with cabs is amazing. I love the scene in this. It looks like landscape in a thick mist or maybe dunes on a beach of white sand.

I agree with Toad, it looks like a Montana agate.

Really nice cab! I agree with above - it looks just like 3 Montanas that I'm currently working on (except the shape, of course!). We'll know for sure when Mel (sabre52) chimes in here.
I really like the Montana agates, although I find them a bit tedious to work due to the hardness - and my limited equipment. But worth the extra effort.

It does look like Montana. I've seen a material from Russia that looks similar but can't remember the name. I imagine hey formed under similar circumstances in different areas.

Never heard of Copco agate, now I see it twice in a few days. It's awesome! Nice work Bob.

Beautiful cab. I have some copco agate I got off of ebay but it doesn't look like that, no inclusions but has some banding.

Wow! beautiful! I've not personally seen Copco quite that fancy but the Lapiday Journal book The Agates of North America shows some very similar to what you have. Copco does look very much like Montana Agate.....Mel
