Always look forward to seeing these Scottish Agates. Another fine show worth the wait. I have gotten tired of doing certain rocks but would never tire of these. Rock on Ian !

I like the one just before the Valentine rock. It's different than the others. My other favorites are the valentine rock and the bullseye.

The only thing as restive, curative, and tranquilizing as viewing and handling of these Scottish Agates for you must be the many hours of walks on beaches and fields to collect them. Now that is good for body and soul. I enjoy the vicarious experience and try to do the same in my own corner of the world, New Mexico. Tom

Thanks all for your kind comments.
Rob, I agree, the yellow is unusual, only probably found 3 or 4 of that colour.
Tom, thanks. I am going collecting again tomorrow, for the first time in over a month. It looks like rain and wind, but am really really looking forward to it.

Oh how I love the monthly agate show! Ian iant sent me a box of them which arrived just yesterday and now I can have my own agate admiration right in front of me whenever I wish.(thank you!) They are great! write up in the vendors section. Ian, you surely have found some spectacular ones this time. It is so hard to choose among them for a favorite. Usually I am drawn to one or 2 but you have at least 5 here that are a thrill. The one just above your valentine is fascinating, and there is one a few frames up that almost looks like it wants to become opal. keep on finding them and posting what you find. love it!

An outstanding showing as always Ian, very nice job on these - the variety is seemingly endless - and that Bullseye piece is fantastic!!

Some very nice stones there. Nice finds and nice work. I don't think I've ever seen Scottish agates before. I wonder why, because they are quite nice. I especially like the speckled ones, and the ones with druzy quartz between layers of agate.
