Got another bucket of slabs cleaned up tonight and got the oil in one more saw changed, by the time I get all the oil changed it will probably be time to start over again! The table of slabs Biggs Rainbow obsidan and the last of the Pietersite chunk A really cool piece of agate, this has alot going on it, plumes, orbs, some green moss, agatized areas and jasperized areas, a section that looks like inclusions in Montana agate, here is a few random pics A chunk I just started cutting off of Mine and Jason's claim A cool chunk of Owyhee picture jasper that I am about halfway through Thanks for looking....................Tony

Marie, It is Snake River Agate, the material there is so varied that it is hard to give it just one name, you can find several distinct types of material on the claim, you just have to move about 50 feet and you can find something different.
Have a great weekend................Tony

That Snake River material almost looks like Polkadot on steroids ! I don't believe it would take a pro with years of experience to get fantastic lookin cabs out of those slabs. Just about any shape at any angle outta get-er done !

Very cool slabs! I especially like the Owyhee - so much pattern and color, and such a HUGE piece to make those very large slabs.

Wow, I would've guess that one was polka dot too! Really unusual stuff you're finding there Tony. I've got some Snake River dendritic somewhere. Now I've got to dig it out.....Mel

Very cool. The snake river looks like welding splatter burns to me LOL. I like the other agate too. So much going on in that one.
