Oregon Sunset Agate is from Richardsons rock Ranch out of Madras OR. The hole that the purples and pinks came out of was filled in years ago when it got too deep and dangerous to mine. It is super hard and polishes well. Whenever we see it in a rock sale we usually grab it.

Okay, I'm going to throw my hat in the ring! Montana agate - The rough The preform The finished cab Sorry for the pic quality, and that they're turned different ways. It really is the same stone in all the photos! I was rushing to get some photos before the sun went down. Thank you for your consideration! Jean

OK not that it makes any diff now after the fact i been asked to look at this thread by a few diff people -- so i just did i don't know what to say except if you think something is rigged my first thought is i ain't playin that haha -- if we have a problem with someone its always best to keep it in Pm's I'm not gonna take sides here -- all I'm gonna say is you guys have a great contest here and some great cabs to judge (they all are first rate) -- if you posted something negative just delete it so it don't hurt this members contest -- think about it they where nice enough to offer up a prize for the best cab -- i usta do the same kinda thing with -- name this cab-- contest years ago when i could still sit at the grinder and winner got the cab -- it was all in fun and all had a good time -- lets all try and have a good time this is supposed to be fun -- there's enough nasty stuff in the world goin on this is kinda an escape if you let it be -- now get grindin haha ---- sands
