Not very many this time, but some unusual material. Start off with something normal, RSJ  Unknown  A piece of Blue agate from Steve Holmes  Now this one is strange. It is kind of like pyrite in an agate. The agate is hard as Hell and the silvery stuff is soft, but shines up nicely. Any ideas?  Here's what it looked like before I started, actually the back of the cab, but I didn't touch it.  A plume agate from the Agate pile near Jamies house.  Unknown agate  Some kind of tube agate  Cathedral agate  And a piece of purple obsidian. Now you see it...  now you don't!  That's it! |

Great work as usual Ed. I just love the blue agate, the shape is really attractive as is the pattern. The color change on the obsidian is cool. I take it you just moved the light for the second photo.

I agree with Tony, the shape and pattern of the blue agate match each other great. I also like the RSJ a lot.

Here's a cab of Nipomo Marcasite. It's about 2" BY 2". The Marcasite polishes up rather well and it holds the shine too. Sometimes you can find a piece with the agate areas a reddish color. It is rare and really striking. Bob ![]() i151.photobucket |
