Here's a couple slabs my darling wife Christa gifted to me last week for my birthday!

First is a beautifully polished slab of Moroccan Agate that is reminiscent of Bloody Basin material.

She had asked me some time back If there was anything I wished I had in my display cabinet. At the time I had been looking at stuff stonemon was posting, so I replied ‘Trent Agate’. Low and behold.. she actually tracked down an example for me! (whoa)

Oh yeah!

Thanks a bunch for looking!

I Wanna Rock!!!

OMG! Please give Christa a big hug and a kiss from ALL of us! LOL - Before I started all this, I never would have thought I would get excited to get rocks as a present...but now...there's nothing better! LOL - Spectacular specimens...and I know...they're not meant to be cabbed...but...

LOL

Christa rocks! What a great birthday present.

Tell her we said hi.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
