Is that from eastern Oregon? I know I'm going to love these when they are done. Thanks for sharing

It is an unknown. Some vugs and pits to work around. The preform is domed and the pattern reminds me of Morrisonite of Jellybean. Softer than Morrisonite and close to Jellybean. Smelled like orange rind when grinding.

A nice super seven that doesn't want to be photographed.

This is from the split of the piece the previous one was made from. Done freehand. My fingers are chewed up from attempting to skin an agate. Usually I mark a shape, grind the shape and dop. For this one I dopped the piece and started grinding. Reminds me of Pietersite.

I like them all. The unknown brecciated one is thought provoking. The square super 7 in the 3rd photo is a beauty, and the lunas are very nice too. Thanks for sharing.
