This is one of my most Favorite Stones! This is a nodule I recieved from Roger, and when I cut into it, I was floored! I had my friend (Cam Grow) in Oregon polish it for me. He did a great job. It sits on my computer desk and I don't think there's a day that goes by, that I don't rub it. ;D Banded Teepee Canyon Agate Steve

Thanks Mel. I ground the stone down, and was trying to get a dome on it..but was unsuccessful. It's fairly large too...about 3.5" oval, and it's about 1.5" tapered tp 3/4" thick. It kind of reminds me of a paperweight, in how it turned out. Thanks again Mel! Steve

that is BEAUTIFUL! I think the Teepee/Dryhead/Fairburns have to be some of my very favorites - the lines are always so striking. I like your choice of how to display it too. I can see why you'd touch it everytime you were close - think I'd have a hard time putting it down!
