At this point, the titles are a formality - Ill keep this brief and wait for your input. #1 - Looks like bubbly dried paint. Varies in color from light to dark blue. Hard like an obsidian without the glassy appearance in some areas. Leland Blue slag from Michigan - thank you amygdule and pebblesky ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1721249136/1YgTP-ycQbW1N_J-aTJveA_mjphxq.jpg) ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1721249136/wS5AQa2BQYqvtd7zOSNIVQ_c3ict5.jpg) #2 - a Very ugly beautiful looking agate with funky orange colors and some crazy patterns. Looks like burnt worms in vomit. Possible Australian Crazy Lace- thanks jasoninsd![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1721249209/6sk8V39mQMWvBNwPMsKYnQ_ehe6xj.jpg) ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1721249210/VhTrRV83Tji2o5YhSl22pg_ypfvhk.jpg) #3 - An agate half that was broken open in the middle, not cut smoothly. Looks like rainbows inside ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1721249294/iror8i0ZQNqek9-ELbpgJA_giu9nd.jpg) #4 - Looks pitted like lava rock but feels more like a rhyolite. Some of the pitting is pitting, some is actually blackish colored debris type shiz in the pattern. Strange striped stone. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1721249419/JJbFBJijQaCOj0Ru3TvkKg_m2k40b.jpg) ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1721249476/ErfUrK75SayWQQzoNjSdww_nt6ara.jpg) Thank you kind sirs and mams.

Thanks amygdule and pebblesky for the ID. pebblesky - I can't see past the dried up burnt worms and the vomit color, but my husband agree with you and basically said the same thing. Eye of the beholder I suppose!

Ok, I'm overruled on the ugly beautiful one. Majority rules Pat - I like worms too, just not burnt ones in rocks. I prefer roly-polys (Armadillidiidae) to worms though, those things are downright adorable.

How new we talking? I think his last Tuscon show was 2018? He was still ordering rocks online for a little while after that, but not too much longer.
