Worked on these 2 tonight...and it was lots of work. The wheels are sure screamin'....time for some new ones. Agate Creek from Lowell...THANKS! I wanted to do an Echostone set out of this one but the pesky little fracture wouldn't allow me to take a slice. It's a great little speciman...and a keeper. Killer Laguna with shadow or parralax. (I think it's the same thing) Thanks for looking. Steve

What a sweet agate! Sorry about the crack....um...I blame the postal service!!! Yeah, we all know Queensland agates never have fractures....
I'm glad it came out with such a nice pattern. Can't wait to see what else you produce.
I gotta tell you, though, I head outside and have the best intentions to work on something other than those Aussie rocks, but they keep on wanting to take my limited time right now.
And thanks for that lil package you sent me. I'll share with photos when I get a few minutes.
Lowell
p.s. Awesome South of the Border stone. Top notch!

Agate Bling! You've got the best stuff Steve. Amazing that such a beautiful agate hides inside that crust.

Awesome agates Steve! So who do you think first found one of those ugly stones and decided "hey, I'm gonna crack this open and see what's inside."? In reality, I'm sure they found a broken piece and were amazed, as we are. Thanks for showing them.
