Nice Brian! The Stone Canyon looks like some great future cabs. Love that druzy Malachite!

Laguna nodules are typically going ot have just one "fort" with wider/bolder banding. This crazy lace does have a large shield, but this is less typical. Often lots of lacy patterns from silica replacement of dogtooth calcite.

Hey thanks all! And thanks Daniel and Lapidaryrough for the explanations on the agate differences. I'm slabbing the Stone Canyon right now (as time allows) and kinda sorta 'playing' with one of the turquoise nuggets. The stuff spooks me a little lol.
