These are all great! Where did you find the rough? Picked up 40 pounds at a local rock shop. I'll have to assume they did not know what they were when they sold them to me for $1 per pound. I did not even bother sorting through them at the store I just bought all they had. Chuck Congrats Chuck - really nice material. Great find

Same reactions as others. Over the first few, there's a fave then it just keeps getting tougher and tougher.
Glorious.

I did not even bother sorting through them at the store I just bought all they had. That's one heck of a find. I just finished some condor agate halves which were far more expensive but are not nearly as nice as yours. Good for you.

Hard to pick a fav, but #16 grabbed my attention. Did you know they were so nice when you bought them?

14 and 16 are tops, but I dig the fortification/plume split personalities too. Seems unfair to the rest of them, cause they'd be memorable in anything other than an all-star lineup like that one.

Great stuff, Chuck. You found a heck of a deal on those. If you never did anything else with them, the fun of cutting those open was worth the money. I like the way you've tumbled these, though. They can take a long time, and reduce in size greatly, if you try to roll it like your normal rough. Lots of favorites, but I've already forgot the numbers. Quality AND quantity!

Thanks. Those two are top contenders for sure. The fact that after all of these replies nobody picked #19 as favorite proves your point. In any other batch that one would have stood out. Chuck
