I love that nodule! Beautiful!
You've posted a few recently that have caught my eye - are they from a new area for you or from a place you've hunted before?
I'm about done with the California Agate Index and am looking to start redoing the rest of them with additions.
When I do Arizona I'd like to add this guy (and the others). Is west of Phoenix as general as you want to go, or is there a more precise location I can use?
Thanks, and keep cutting those things. Can't get enough of that stuff!

Nice Brian. The first one looks like a Laguna agate.

Thanks guys! Lowell I'm really looking forward to the Cali index. A long time in the making but I'm sure well worth the wait ;D. The first one was found near the 4th of July Butte. I see the profiles of two aliens staring at each other in the second one.. kind of like a faces and vases thing. heh

Those second stones are my favorite. I would love to see them cabbed.

Wow Beef! Gotta say that first one is Sa-WEEEEEEEET! I never found anything like that when I went out rockhunting. Obviously I should have hired Beef the RockDawg! Steve
