Some of those look like scraps from cabbing, are they? Beautiful variety

A few are Lake Superior agates. Many of these are end cuts and slabs given to me from a collector friend in Utah. I did buy rocks like the K-scope Jasper, Pietersite and the Lakers. These have a mixture of hardnesses so there is some fracturing in some of the softer stones. I'm finally separating rocks due to this occurring and hopefully cracks and fractures will be reduced.
