Hi Everyone, I recently ordered a slab batch from Riverbend lapidary. I kept seeing it on his web site and it really kept calling to me. Especially the black and white ones. When I got it today, I was in shock about how many there were and how big the slabs are. The colors were so much better than I had thought too! This is the whole group. I had to lay out paper towels next to the hand towel because they wouldn't fit on it. This first one is a little blurry. Sorry about that. And here are the ones that really called to me and made me buy them Each is so very beautiful! What a sweet order. The hardest thing for me now is to stay on task with what I am trying to finish instead of picking up with these beautiful slabs! Thank you so much Mr Able! Fran

Holy cow those are great! That black one with the gold plume looks like midnight lace plume agate from SW Texas. That's rare stuff!

Thanks everyone! J.R. Able said the black ones were out of Marfa Texas so I bet Mel is right on target with the I.D.s I don't know what most of the others are aside from tiger eye and unikite. There are many laces and mosses but don't know where from so if anyone knows, especially J. R. please chime in. I would love to get them labeled so I can remember what they are when I finally get them cut. Fran
