I have no idea what these are. As always...I appreciate any help. These came from an old collection....which I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to purchase a few pieces. I was thinking Cathedral Agate...but I don't think so. Big Diggins Agate? My stab in the dark. Thanks in advance, steve

I'm also thinking Cathedral on the first. Your example just has some additional agate deposited on top the botryoidal growths. I'd say Big Diggins south of Deming on number two. That white sagenite along the edge is pretty typical of the moss agate at that location. However, that being said, I've also seen a little similar stuff out of Arizona and Old Mexico...Mel

Thanks Mel! I guess I'm getting better at identifying rocks. I didn't think Cathedral Agate came in that big of chunks...that's why it was a mystery to me. steve
