Hi all. I grabbed a box of slabs and picked out 5 new types of stone just for a little variety. So I'm not sure what all I have here and if anyone does know, I'd appreciate an ID.

agate 26x20mm

Starburst jasper 30x22mm

agate 30x22mm

Leopardskin jasper 30x22mm

pet wood? 30x22mm

same one upside down

Thanks for looking.

LOL @ Kim, I think everyone would like to have some of that agate in the 3rd pic, it's totally gorgeous!! Where does starburst jasper come from?

Gosh Ed, another wondeful batch of cabs. I envy your productivity! Like #1+3 best but boy they are stumpers as to what they are. I've got plume very similar to#1 from Horse Canyon near Tehachapi, Ca and #3 looks kind of like Quetzecoatl Agate from Mexico colorwise but it usually has a little sagenite like Crazy Lace. Kinda like Flower Garden Agate from Arizona too. I just don't know. That's a toughie!

cher: To the best of my knowledge, Starburst, Spider and related forms come from Mexico. Someone told me once the Guadalajara region.....mel
