I recently came into about 40+ lbs of Nova Scotia agates and jaspers, so I'll be posting a lot of pics of this great material... Nova Scotian Amethyst with little jasper inclusions... Some green jasper Agate from up around Five Islands NS Two Islands... Not sure where this guy is from, somewhere around Cape Split, I just hope Disney doesn't sue me, I didn't know Mickey was in the rock when I started! This was in a very soft matrix, which made getting the shape symetrical very difficult. I got this material for free, so I've been able to really explore my creative side with it. It's great to work with, the only real problem is that most of the material was collected from the bottom of rock slides, so there are quite a few fractures which is costing me a fortune in Opticon! Thnaks for looking.... Rock Guy 275

The first one is quite unique. I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like it. Way cool

Man, Never seen anything like that amethyst. Really like the cut and the awesome pattern on that last agate cab too. It's always very cool to see unique materials from unfamiliar locations....Mel

Great cabs! The first is my favorite. I've cabbed some rocks from that area and there is quite a variety of material.

Yeah what everyone has said, all that material looks really nice, love the color variety and a lot of the softer colors are really nice.
That first cab is way cool.
