Cool Timloco:). Those little orbitals look almost like an obsidian... if you can cab it, maybe the agate will be translucent... the cabs would be really interesting!

Nice agate! Where you out rocking or just walking around when you found it?

I went out specifically to go rockhounding. I stopped at 6 different places and found material at 4 of them. This particular piece was found at the very first place I stopped, practically as I got out of my car. It's not very big so I think I'll cab this one once I get cabbing gear. My first piece of rock stuff was a tumbler. The trim saw and slab saw are next. Right now I don't have a lot of stuff to work with, I'm still working on gathering rocks.
