Here's a couple of specimens that are simply too delicate for tumbling but are absolutely incredible. These are from the Singleton Ranch in Presidio County.   |

I had never heard of Balmorhea Blue Agate before; they look amazing! I especially like the second to last one with the orbs/eyes!

ctxtumblebug - Great idea to start a thread like this! Just throwing it out as a suggestion...if you edit and add "Updated 11-10-23" to the end of the thread title (or whatever date you update with new pics), it lets people know you've added pics.

This is a Balmorhea Blue Agate. The other side of this has a small white agate with a brown stripe on it and it sits in a quartz pocket in the center of this agate. It is spectacular in so many ways. |

Beautiful tumbles! Those Balmorhea are very special! What is this one: Thank you for liking these rocks and keeping me encouraged. This one is simply a small pink agate from the Walker Ranch in the Big Bend area of Texas and it is a very beautiful one. I have several labeled big buckets of tumbling rough from those ranches that are well known for their world class agates and jaspers. Those buckets of tumbling rough from where I pull these nice specimens are from the following ranches and/or areas: Kokernot o6, Larremore, Muddy Creek, Needle Peak, Ritchie, Singleton, Walker and Woodward. Some of this material has been gifted to me by friends who go out there regularly and some has been bought by me at my local rock shops in Llano and Gruene TX. |

Those are all pretty killer. I can’t really pick a favorite. They’re all unique. Thanks for showing.
