really nice batch, I wonder if that last 1 is opal, I bought some Brazilian opal I think that looks just like that blue stuff.

Beautiful variety of rocks, those turned out great!! The second to the last one looks like marcasite in agate.

That's a really nice bunch of rocks. I love the variety in your batches. I've been trying to stay with rocks that are somewhat the same, but you have really good luck mixing them up. The mixed up batches I do are mostly Lake Superior beach mixes since I'm not sure what half the stuff is. I've been picking out the stuff I do recognize, like quartz or unakite, and doing it together.

WOW those are amazing! And the fact that your son got a perfect tumble finish on the leopardskin and had soft snowflake in there that turned out awesome just blows my mind!!! WTG!!!

Great batch .... the unknown is a form of moss agate (some incorrectly call it moss opal) the hills to the north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia are strewn with it, along with chrysoprase and magnesite.
Take care.

Thanks for all the great compliments. I dont think he is just throwing every rock in the barrel anymore. Looks like he is high grading and I have noticed both of my boys are borrowing from my box of lake superior agates but thats ok since I dont have a barrel of my own to run, lol
Thanks for the I.D.'s on the unknowns also Chuck and Darren
