Okay, so I'm back to the WWR agates again. These are some really nice agates this time.

I think I found "Hooba"

And this one is the Holy Grail of the WWR agates. I have to thank Jamie for sending me this piece. I've decided to start a personal collection of cabs, and this is the first inductee.

Thanks everyone, the material just keeps getting better. Toad, the last one is the famous red plume agate that the ranch is famous for. It's what I was hoping to find, but so far, I haven't seen any in the rocks I collected. Jamie sent me this slab. Pretty soon Brian. I'll do a whole set of Arizona cabs. And Jamie, I have a lot vacancies in my trays, remember? And besides, I think it's time to contact the Woodwards.
