Finally cleaned out one of the slab buckets, some cool stuff in here. All pictures are taken dry. First table ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16001Medium.jpg) ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16002Medium.jpg) Purple Cow from the trip we did last fall ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16006Medium.jpg) A green Bruneau nodule ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16008Medium.jpg) Bruneau ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16007Medium.jpg) Some Willow Creek ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16004Medium.jpg) Some really cool stuff I brought back from Quartzsite, the vendor only brought one sack back with him, I just couldn't pass it up Sumatra flame agate ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16005Medium.jpg) Morrisonite ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16003Medium.jpg) Table 2 ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16009Medium.jpg) ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16010Medium.jpg) Chrysacolla in Quartz ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16011Medium.jpg) Carrasite ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16012Medium.jpg) Owyhee flower jasper on the left, Biggs on the right ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16013Medium.jpg) Tiger eye from Slabcabber on the left, a really cool unknown jasper on the right ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16019Medium.jpg) I got this in the last estate I bought, the owner said it was "poor man's lapis" which usually refers to Sodalite, but it is not like any sodalite I have ever seen, pretty colors anyways. ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16015Medium.jpg) Morgan Hill poppy jasper, most of this rock became slabettes, but these larger slabs did survive ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16018Medium.jpg) Scot (free2rockhound) found these nodules in the bottom of a trench at McDermitt and we helped him dig them out, he took one home and I took one home, this is what was inside of the one I brought home ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16016Medium.jpg) Some very colorful but highly fracturable material that came from just up the ridge from the above nodules at McDermitt, I think these are pretty highly opalized. ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/rocks%20and%20things/slabs12-16017Medium.jpg) Thanks for looking, hope you all have a Merry Christmas. Tony

Nice selection of slabs, hard to pick a favorite. The purple cow is probably it.
