I dug out some slabs I bought a couple of years ago at the only show I have ever been able to make it to. The seller was from Idaho, and I got a nice big slab of Prudent Man plume agate, from vein number one. Also these two little slabs, If he told me what they are I have forgotten, but as I remember the green one was spendy, but I am a sucker for green. If anyone knows what they are please ID, Thanks, Bill

They are all beautiful! I think I have read before that they are all found in veins near each other. Each is amazing!

Bill, those are all three awesome slabs. Are you going to keep them intact or cut them?

Tanya, I sure am tempted cut them. However, I do not have a cabbing machine as of yet and am reluctant to chance doing an injustice to nice material. I look at the beautiful cabs posted and really want to do more... I am trying my hand at making a couple pseudo-cabs on the Workforce to see how well I can do to at least get something that would make a good wrap (which I still have to lean also) I have two Workforce saws and I use a blade that is nearly worn out for shaping. So, I guess for now the slabs are safe while I practice on local stuff. Bill A shot (wet) of my roughed practice Wabs... I'm hoping unclestu will cab his so I can see how they look
