I need to come up with a better thread title! LOL Some of these were disappointing due to fractures showing up, seemingly out of nowhere on some of them! As always, thanks for taking a gander.  Turkish Stick Agate - this was an end cut...  Moss Agate - hummingbirdstones here's the wispy purple moss I talked about awhile back.     Crazy Lace Agate  I should know...but don't know the ID. If you know, let me know!  Blue Mountain Jasper   Cotton Candy Agate - I know these ones! LOL (Dang fractures!!)    |

Thanks for showing the transparency on some of these! Stunning to see the complexity of them when you can see through them! 🫨

They really are stunning! The wispy purple moss is amazing! Darn those late showing cracks! Thanks Chris! Those cracks were so disheartening. I really do everything I can to avoid making cabs which have any kind of fracture in it...but these really seemed to come out of nowhere. I actually had four or five more I ground out, but tossed them because the fractures took completely away from the overall piece. |

I LOVE those stringy moss! I'm not a huge fan of moss, but I do like the stringy wispy stuff. Thanks for backlighting. |

I've never worked anything with that "wispy" moss in it before...only the "thick" stuff. I think this has a more "elegant" look to it...for what that's worth! LOL |

#4 is amazing! I shy away from buying cotton candy slabs because of the fractures, and I wonder if anyone has any that are fracture free. Yours are quite stunning.

Yeah...thankfully I still have a decent chunk of it left. I'm going to have to be a LOT more picky about where I'm taking these cabs from on the slabs. I think That oughta work...hopefully! LOL |

Thanks PS! I'm thinking that one might need a wrap that doesn't have a lot of "foo-foo" along with it!  Love this! It looks like a Wagyu steak! Now I want steak for breakfast! LOL It looks like a Wagyu steak! The Costco ones are quite cost-effective  I think I might like the $5 bacon wrapped sirloin steaks from the local butcher a little better...at least my wallet does! LOL |
