Sounds like a tropical drink but it's really: I need to redo some of its edges but I like how it looks, Thanks for taking a peek, Lowell

Toad, Actually, yes, a double nodule, but the second half has a less percentage of agate and is more crumbly. This agate had a broken face which revealed the pattern. I just ground it down a bit than domed it. I thought about cutting, but I have no guarantee that the interior will give me anything better.
Carlos, As for being hairy...it's sitting on my cat climb...and I have three cats. With spring coming on, everything is hairy right now...

Toad, In a way I found it. I believe it's from Mexico, though from which bed, I don't know for sure. It might be a Laguna agate. I picked it up at what I thought was going to be an estate sale last August with about a shoebox worth of other nodules showing the same color. Turned out the family was just giving away the material. Here's a couple more from the same haul. Thanks for asking, Lowell

Wow Lowell. It's no wonder people get addicted to agates. You sure know how to pimp them... & I mean that in a good way!
