Awesome cabs Roger. Too bad the acid ate the side of that one.

Wow, I love that 9th I think picture. The first in the row of Fairburns. The colors are so rich and bands are so clear in it. Those Fairburn Agates are awesome. Tanya

Wow Roger! Where did you find all those Fairburns. Last year, we spent a week up there looking, and found only one specimen, and LOTS of possibles.

Beautiful Roger! It's amazing how much some of those chocolate matrixed Fairburns resemble Dryheads. Sure must be s similar origin or even similar deposit working there. I had the same problems with some of my Dryhead agates. Since the matrix is only slightly silicified limestone which reacts readily with acid and is somewhat soft, acids and grits seem to eat it up much more than the agate portions of the cabs....Mel
