Here's a few agates I worked up on my days off from the kitchen, followed by some boulder opals. Flame agate  From the agate pile  These next 2 Luna agates started out as a single Bearcreek preform, but I noticed a fracture and decided to just get it over with before I started, and broke it in 2 pieces.   A matched pair of Montana agates, earring sized  And now for the boulder opals(ho-hum)   These next 2 have an opal "window" and there is a lot going on inside these windows, the pics don't do them justice. Two views of each one.     I hope you enjoy these. |

The last two ones are awesome, and I also find gorgeous the teardrop shaped one in the 4th pic.

Stoner - the flame agate looks amazing here. Kinda hard to believe it's the same one as in the other picture.
And I love those BOs at the end. The opal pockets are just amazing.

Great stuff as usual! I'm going to try some matched earrings.
The first window BO looks esp. great in the second orientation!
