Wow what a variety. Dang, I've seen that first one before but can't remember what it was called. Think it might be from California though. Others are really interesting. The yellow and red ones appear to be classic Bird of Paradise ( though the Agates with Inclusions guy classifies a it as flame, it was Bird of Paradise when I saw it for sale in the old days and it was outrageously high priced even then)) Your slabs are the most solid I've seen in years. The green and red one used to be sold by a guy in Santa Barbara as Christmas Tree Flame. Rather fitting common name I'd say *S*. All the others look like really nice standard type Flame agate except the ones with red on blue agate. That one might be a Mexican Flame variant but not one I'm familiar with. It looks much more like the flame plume in a 90 pound boulder I have from the north Cady Mtns. One thing for sure, you've got slabs in the estate buy that would be very very costy if you could even find them these days. Now I have to go wipe all the drool off my keyboard *L*.....Mel

Brian you suck! lol Just kidding, I'm just so incredibly jealous of the rocks you can get out there. This is some fantastic stuff. Some of them look like they'd make great doublets. The long thin red and yellow ones are my hands down favorite.

I've got a chunk just like the slabs in the 1st pic. It's an unnamed Oregon plume agate from very close to the Nyssa plume agate. Or possibly it actually is Nyssa Plume and the seller didn't know. Rick
