Those paint rock agates from Georgia look awesome! I'd definitely be up for going down there for those! Thanks Chuck.
I think I had my rock identified. I've had quite a few people say the grey is a kind of basalt. I stopped in at a rock and mineral show put on by a local club here in my area today. I'm always amazed at how friendly everyone is. I brought my sphere in and the first guy I spoke to identified it as a kind a basalt with what he believed was agate that filled in the holes and spaces. He showed me other rocks he had that had agate filling in areas of an otherwise ordinary stone. He said it was a very good quality of basalt that he believed had come down from an island on Lake Superior that was know for that kind. He said it was a one of a kind and passed it around to a bunch of equally nice folks from his club to look at. Everyone seemed to agree it was something they had never seen before and were very complimentary on the quality. He and another guy invited me out to their homes to show me their collections. Amazing folks. Made me feel good to be able to meet such nice people. Finding out what it was was just a bonus.

That is kryptonite.
Just kidding:). It looks a little bit like mexican fire agate in matrix to me... but the mexican matrix is red and white. Do you have a museum or University nearby that might help identify it for you maybe?? Either way, it's beautiful:).

Helen
I went to your glass website. Its awesome. I really really love your work. I think I like glass as much as stone and your creations are just crazy beautiful.

Thank you rattlehead! I'm in awe of the things here. I guess everyone likes the 'new' stuff they are less familiar with the best:).

That absolutely fantastic if I do say a bit late, doesn't change the beauty. Since I am new to this forum this was perfect excitement to start! Thank you, spheremaker
