A group. Someone described them as looking like root beer. Good description Another group Here is a group that has lines (or striations?) running through them which is uncommon. I have a few more pictures of individual examples...maybe I'll reply to my own thread...let's see.

Most NOCO agates are opaque, but quite a few are either completely non-transparent or have some mixture with perhaps quartz or jasper or idoevenoite. Here is an interesting one. In hand it has a pinkish hue with a window with some black plume.

Two more interesting ones. This one is opaque with white and orange "eyes" and black plume. This one has wavey striations almost like a Laker which it clearly is not. This is the only one I have of hundreds which is like this. This is the top side of the same rock with "eyes" and "wispy clouds" (which are common). That's all for this round. Perhaps I look into Flikr to post in the future. Thanks for looking. Gather no moss, Colin

Interesting agates and fine tumbled shape/polish. seems I remember you collect your own. Thank you James. To be honest I like finding them out in the grasslands better than the production/polishing thereof. I also prefer trading and collecting from specific locals like petrified coral from a river in Florida (I can't 'member the name) that a good man likes to heat treat (can't 'member the name either) That might be my next post...
