Great looking slabs Snuffy! First one is definitely Roostertail from Mexico and the third is probably similar stuff. Those are found in the Rio Grande gravels too. The red swirly one looks to be one of the hickoryite group to me. Didn't know any came form Colorado but lots of that color from Mexico and SW Texas. Last appears to be a non dendritic example of Parral Dendritic Agate. It comes in a banded phase like that too....Mel

looks like fun. I really need to get a small saw in from the garage and set up in the front bathroom. I am having cutting withdrawal.
