Those are real knockouts. Where in Mexico are the Laguna agates harvested?

Very very very very very very very very nice haul you got at that show/sale. My favorites are the last few - and that yellow is intense! Are you getting jaded yet - getting let down when the colors or patterns are not as intense as the prior cut? Or are you murmuring under your breath with each 'clunk' off the saw: "Damn, I'm a lucky fellow." Carlos, As for Lagunas - they are from Chihuahua Mexico, 150 miles south of the Texas border.

Very Nice Beef! My favorite is #3 as well. Love those crisp, well defined banded patterns. It might parallax once polished. I also like the intense yellows in #9. The last one looks like a Coyamito to me. Fun Stuff....and how many pounds do you have? One question..do you find yourself limiting how many you cut? I pick out a few..and it always seems like I cut more or until I find a really big WINNER! Steve
