Snuffy, I'm the same way. All naturaaal so to speak. The third picture has the same rock. It shows the back side. It is the top middle rock.

It I believe is Carnelion agate from Washington or Oregon. Got it from an estate [kind of]. The women I purchase used equipment and rocks from said that it was her dads. She was 66 years old. The 14" slab saw had pully's and weights to pull the rock through the blade. The more wait the faster the travel.

I had them in that candy dish at work. Everyone said it looked like a big piece of carmael. One guy grabbed one of the real shiney ones and started to rub it all over his arms while we were talking. Just thought it was a strange thing. I washed my rock after he left my office. :-)
