I was working on this white teardrop shape when something brown and fuzzy crawled up on it and got stuck there!! The cab is 1" tall. Bob

Looks like one of those leafy looking sea horses from the Sargasso Sea. Is that an Indian Mocha Stone? Spectacular cab!.....Mel

Mel, I'm not sure of its origin. It was given to me by a friend. It was a 1 1/2" nodule with a cream colored skin. Maybe from Oregon? Bob

Bobby: That would fit all right. Probably from the Agate Flat area on the California/Oregon border near Hornbrook. I think Hugh Leiper's book on the agates of North America has some excellent examples that look very similar to what you have pictured.....Mel
