I cut these a while back and haven't had time to post pics. I love Agates and these are 2 reasons why. Ugly looking nodules and BEAUTIFUL HIDDEN TREASURES! Laguna (ordinary and no indications on the outside) I'm in LOVE!!! Moctezuma (I believe) DROOL WORTHY!!!! Flawless little treasure. Thanks for looking. Steve

Holy smokes. Awesome cuts Steve! Good ID on the Moctazuma too. So many of those are duds but when you get a good one, really nice....Mel

Two great looking rocks. Hard to find without fractures.

Wow, fantastic agates Steve! The Moctezuma at least has an interesting outter layer that would catch my attention. But the laguna, pfft, I'd step right over that baby...
Thanks for showing us!

I keep hoping that I'll cut into a stone and find something like that.

Thanks Guys! I thought the one was Moctazuma...guess I was right. I wished every nodule I cut looked like these. They don't yield that often but when they do....it's always a pleasant suprise. It doesn't bother me anyways...because that's the fun of cutting nodules...the unknown. Even the duddy ones are winners to me.....I love em' All! Steve

I have to say, those make a lovely couple!
How many did you have to slice through to get to those? Or was it love at first slice?

Elementary.... This should give you an idea of how many I have sliced through. Not all these are as nice as the two I posted above...but from my previous statement....I love even the duddy ones. This is my Winter Project to polish a majority of these and add them to my collection. And....Yes...It was most definitely...Love at 1st Slice! ;D ;D

Man, oh man oh man oh man OH MAN!
Life must be rough to have that much rough laying about!
Where, pray tell, did you acquire such a wonderful allotment of cutting fodder?
