It is that time of year again!! This is the first show I ever did. Come out and see us this coming week out near Victorville,CA. I will have lots of rough, cabs, slabs and some equipment. Don't forget to ask for your free piece of fire agate rough. This is a fun show and a place I had the opportunity to meet many of you face to face. I am looking forward to visiting old friends and meeting new ones!!! Stoddard Wells Flyer 2020 by CHRISTOPHER LESSO, on Flickr 20170309_141758 (2) by CHRISTOPHER LESSO, on Flickr

Sometimes I will get a piece of rough that is perfect to create a cabinet specimen. Carving the top to expose the color while leaving the natural matrix attached can make a really interesting display piece. Fire Agate 31 grams 028 by CHRISTOPHER LESSO, on Flickr

@christopher1234 Is the surface on that cab botryoidal? did you use Nova points on this? The top is botryoidal. I did use Nova points to finish this one. This fire layer was really thin and I did not want to risk putting it on the wheels

Nice one, Christopher! Were you tempted to go a little deeper to see if there was more purple under there? Not on this one. The purple was on top and there was only a little left in the window I started with
