Well, I tried to do some things around the house today and did manage to clean up my garage a little before I got sidetracked at the grinder!

Unknown Agate

One of Jamies new finds

Pink Andean Opal

Graveyard Plume

Unknown, but really nice

And some more of the Pietersite. I hope you aren't getting tired of looking at this stuff yet.

Here's two different views of the same cab

Again, two views.

Thanks for looking.

Thats got to be a sight to behold. That peitersite is boulder opal on acid, Joe is right. Awesome stuff.

That first one looks like something that can be found at WWR. The pietersite is awesome. Condor

Thanks everyone. MaryAnn, you better watch it, I saw your post yesterday inquiring about a grinder, before you know it you have one and be cutting your own cabs. Condor, I sure hope to find lots of agates like that one at the ranch. I wish there was some way of bringing my grinder!

I download the pics of the Pietersite and look at them on Friday nights to induce flashbacks! Put 'em on a slide show, sure thing!!

Wow Ed, I love those Peitersite cabs! I am also fond of the Andean Opal and unknown agate #2. I know the feeling about trying to clean the garage. I keep trying, but instead of a clean garage I end up with cabs. Darn. Oh and my wife ventured out there today while I was at it. She stayed just long enough to take a few photos and complain about getting mineral/ rock residue (there's a fine layer of it on everything) on her clothes then told me to clean the place up. Sigh. Anyway, great looking batch! Oh and that graveyard plume does remind me of a graveyard! Go figure.

Pietersite is super, especially the last one. Also that "unknown, but really nice" is much more than nice.
