Took the day off, decided to head out to ashwood to poke around the polkadot agate mine, since I haven't been out there since I was a lil kid. Digging a big thunderegg out hoping for some angelwing.  Success   Chatted with one of the guys there for a bit, super cool dude. He allowed me to go down in the mine and snag some blue ice polkadot. This is down in the mine.  This is a different variation of your typical white and brown polkadot. Everything up top that you could purchase was the standard polkadot. This is what I came out with.    |

To be completely honest and upfront, if he texted me pictures of a gold nugget the size of a softball, I'd still tell him it was junk! LOL realrockhound - You didn't send me pics of the Angel Wing! Nice chunk! Congrats on getting jiggy with it today! The blue really is stunning!!  |

The angelwing is amazing! That’s essentially what you’re looking for in these eggs. Most of the eggs aren’t worth a crap. But every so often. You can get a nice one with the angelwing |

So the one with the blue is called Blue Ice PolkaDot? I have them together now, should they be a separate label?
Also, is the angel wing the sticks poking out? It's ok if you swear first before answering these questions...

It's ok if you swear first before answering these questions... Its all out of the same mine. But only the blue is refered to as blue Ice. The eggs are from polkadot. But called canyon rim eggs. |
