Hope you all had a great holiday and are enjoying a long weekend. I had the day off again today while the guys were installing our kitchen floor tile, so I spent a couple of hours at the wheels. Plasma Agate  A small agate from Brian's grab bag at BC  Blue mossy agate  These next two were sent to me from Dee, thanks. Blue BC agate  Gorgeous black plume agate, very densely packed  Golden Horn Coral, from stonesthatrock, thanks Maryann and Ralph.  Could this be a type of Ocean jasper/agate?  Royal Velvet Obsidian  Rutilated Rose Quartz  All for now. |

Oh my god! I'm so glad you took my advice and decided to cab that royal velvet!  It is stupendous and that rutile is totally awesome too - I like the ones that are clear and you can see the rutiles really well Spectacular job! |

Wow, I love it when you have the day off!! OF course, you know my favorites! Those, and the rutilated quartz - can't wait until you do your birthday rose rutilated too!
Just excellent, Ed!! I always can't wait to open up your new threads!!

Love that coral cab! So, was it agatized or calcified material? Gotta say that rutilated quartz is pretty darn neat too.....Mel

The velvet is gorgeous, but the black plume seems to come from the Moon or even further.

Wow I didn't know there was rutilated rose... man that black plume gets the glands secreting. Salivary, that is.

Another great batch. I like that BC blue agate a lot. It looks so soothing. Ahh. That brian's-grab-bag agate looks beautiful too, like a nebula in space.
