Nice cuts Chuck! I'd say the last is also Brazil with a crystal center.

Nice cuts! Be watchful of any Iris effect in those Brazilians you might slice that thinly. steve

I love all the rocks ... spectacular.. I have some snowflake coming from the $1.00/pound guy too..... I have some Montana Agates just like the one your are getting ready to do ... crystal centers and all ... been wondering if it wold be better halved and sold as specimen grade... didn't know if it could b cabbed,,, nay have to try it tomorrow.
