Howdy folks, Just a small batch much like my last except mostly larger stones. Prairie Agate on lower left, Bubblegums upper left. Hector Hills at right center. ( Love the white one with the big black dendrite and the beautiful hunks of peachy caramel opalite) Also a bit of Turritella, Mexican stuff, Woodward Plume and a Laker. Thanks for looking.....Mel Here's a closeup of the triangle Steve wanted to see. Really reminds me of some Bloody Basin Plume I've seen but this is Rancho Carneros Agate from Mexico.

Wow! Shine, shine, shine. If I ever get this current batch out of 60/90.... maybe someday I'll have a batch like that!

That's the goods, Mel. That is what all of us tumbling people are aiming at, right there.
Nice shape, great shine, minimum cracks, pretty rocks.

Steve: Sorry for all the reflection on the big triangle. It really has pretty pattern but is sort of a mossy, plumy stuff called Carneros Agate from Rancho Carneros, Chihuahua, Mexico. Kinda reminds me of Roostertail except the pattern is small. Almost never see any except in real old collections. If I remember, I'll take a closeup of it for ya tomorrow.....Mel
