Cut a couple of rocks (they look like they could have come from the same rock, but didn't) I have had sitting around for awhile, am a little disappointed in the second one most of the pattern ground away. This is one big rock though so will have another chance or two. StonesnBones reminded me I had them, Luna agate?

Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

Spike,those are really cool cabs!I personally do not think that its Luna.Luna is skewed these days,true luna comes from Mexico.There is some orbicular material that is found around Los Lunas,NM thats being marketed as Luna.True Luna in my opinion will have a color of light purple to raspberry.It would be more aptly described as a tube agate rather than a lace.
