Horn coral Don't know what this is, not much to look at plus it does kind of fall apart. Just thought it was kind of interesting. It is pretty quartzy & has these little red crystals in it that just kind of fall off, probably garnet. Berber agate, halves with just a little slice off. Will slab more of it later on. This was all I could get off of the Indonesian flame agate. Rubies in something Coprolite Snowflake Obsidian Something I have hanging around that came out of the 7 buckets of unknown rock I bought from Maddie at the local flea market. Brecciated opal I don't know One little chunk off the Polish flint Some little pieces off the Medicine Bow And that's it until I build up some more steam to go at it again!

The "I don't know", is rhodonite.

That is a lot of pretty stuff! I think that corpolite is really colorful and the one in the quartz looking matrix may be something else. I can't remember the name right now but the red looks like garnet but it is much softer. If I think of it later, I will post. The surrounding rock could be calcite also and much softer than the quartz would be. Fran

Beautiful cuts! That "something you have ..." could be cathedral agate, maybe?
