Sunshine on Montana … Montana Agate that is! Perhaps my current favourite in my evolving obsession. I have to admit; I am gradually warming up to the glow of Carnelian. And then, there’s always Mahogany. Brazilian lemon wedge. Laura already laid claim on this one. A few mixed Bay of Fundy. Some are a little pitted, but they only cost me a walk on the beach. For those of you that believe “all systems tend towards maximum randomness”, here are a few mixed Candy Bowl photos. There were about 250 pieces in this last UV-10 batch with a fair number of pendant worthy tumbles. I have to sell a bunch of pendants to pay for my Model B that is in the mail. 15 lbs of rotational joy is on its way! Hope the pics brighten your day. Darryl.

Great batch indeed! Wish we actually had some sunshine up here in MT! It's been pretty dreary most of the spring.

Those are all great tumbled stones, but I've got to agree with you that's there's something special about Montana agates. Every one is different, so you can never get bored of them! ;D
