I won these two items last week from the Rock Pile on ebay(woodsicle). First a 2 1/2lb chunk of Riveria Plume Agate from Mexico. This is a slab of Keegan Tube Agate and believe me, this pic does not do it justice. This stuff is way cool. Gonna be some nice cabs coming from these two pieces. How's that for some new pics Randy?

That tube agate looks like a piece of ice coming out of the freezer. It's the first time I've ever seen that agate. Be sure to post a pic when you are done with it.

Joe, it's called tube agate because it was formed millions of years ago when all the TV's were dumped into a landfill, and between the heat and the pressure, all the picture tubes formed this rock. hahahahahahaha. Sorry, couldn't resist. The white swirls in this slab are like tubes going through the slab. It's really cool looking. Give me a day or two Cher, I'll have a cab cut for sure. This stuff is awesome.
