John, Petrified Mini-Tapeworms! Very rare agate found only in the southern reaches of Africa. Those are really cool! I I think they are actually Montana Agates. Really nice cabs too. Steve

Hey, those aren't Beefjello cabs. They're BuiltonRock cabs, and some mighty fine ones at that! ;D Glad you worked that one John. I picked it up at Quartzsite last January and rough tumbled it in my 15# barrel for quite a while. It was a good sized stone! I finally pulled it when I decided it was chippin' up all the other ones lol Where you all see worms I see bats.. lots and lots of bats flying around! Maybe I'm uncovering a phobia here??

It looks like the kind of water your mum (mom) always told you not to drink. Cloudy and full of nasties. But as a couple of cabs...it works.

This is another stone that looks like Japanese ink brush strokes to me, except this time in 3-D! Very nice
