A friend came back from Deming, NM with a bunch of rhyolite (potentially with thunder eggs or ?? included) and gave me some of the smaller pieces to play with on the saw. The first one I cut had a hollow agate which appeared to be filled with a chalklike mud. The agate was dark maroon with numerous fine bands. (no picture but the point is that it got me interested enough to cut some more small pieces. This one came out and spoke to me as a New Mexican sunset. About one slice away from that I found inspiration in this simple one. Just to show the size we are working at, here are three pieces all from the same chunk of stone. Dime was from my pocket and not included with stone. Yes I trimmed these small slabs but hopefully that does not preclude their appearance here. Ain't life wonderful. Tom
