This was a small scrap that I free formed. Trying to ID the pendant for my sale tomorrow. My guess would be Laguna but I'm not very good on Ace. Anyone got a good guess?  |

No clue what type of agate it is but I love this design! Thanks! I think this and the boulder opal I posted a bit ago are the best free forms I've done. Of course they were both finished before this month's competition was announced. The cab is actually one I did when grinding stuff for the fortification contest. |

Could also be Condor/Malawi/Alimajo Agate?

Lots of possibilities but it looks Mexican to me. Hard to distinguish exactly between mines but I'd guess Coyamito. Nice work!

Well, speaking for myself, I'm glad they were done before this month's competition was announced! 🤣 The cab is awesome but I particularly like the way you wrapped it. Outstanding! |

Wonderful! I love it! I think it would be safe to call it a Mexican fortification agate. Most people would be happy with that, I think.

I would say Monteczuma Agate based on color crystal center and banding, but there is enough variation in Laguna and Monteczuma that some are too close to call.
