I'm running out of thread titles, so I'll just use the date to keep them seperate.

First up is an agate that fairburned sent me. He collected this piece West of Custer, SD around a cave called Jewel cave. This one is 28x13mm

This is a picture jasper 40x18mm

Some type of lace agate 30x22mm

This is some type of agate, very cool with just a little bit of clear along the side, otherwise, jet black 30x22mm

I posted this one in the pics section, it's red graveyard plume 30x22mm

My wife wanted me to make a lapel pin so she could use it as a trade for my anniversary present. This Saturday will be our 16th anniversary. Some type of agate. 50x10mm

Thanks for looking.

Wow that one from Fairburned is really cool, so is that red plume agate. Hmmm *weighing pros and cons* ... can't decide, they are both just too nice. Nice job on all of them, you do beautiful work. Congrats on the upcoming anniversary Ed, we'll be celebrating our 14th in a week.

The shape and the subtle coloring really play nicely together.

Really nice Stoner! Am partial to the two agates, I love any rock that's lacy and/or has red in it, and you've done a nice job on both. Congrats to those celebrating their anniversaries, my husband and I are working on our 20th next year. It usually feels like it was only yesterday we were married until my teenage son does something to remind us it has been quite a while

Thanks everyone. I really like the agate Fairburned sent me. I have a few more that I still need to work up, and they are equally as nice. I've won some more very nice agates on ebay this week and can't wait til they get here so I can cab them up as well. Stay tuned.

Oh, and congrats to all whose anniversaries are coming up.

I like the black one too Susan. Except it's like a black paint job, every flaw shows up bigtime, so I had to work at that one a little longer to get it perfect.
