All interesting. Last one Wow! Lots of fun to open up a rock and see what's inside.

I think that first one is cool but I think I would leave that one as slabs instead of cabbing. The last one is going to make sweet cabs though!

Brian,
I'm glad you're enjoying the material. Sorry the nodule didn't pan out completely. That pitting is a problem with those guys. If you find a fully agatized one, it's time to celebrate. I hope one of the others comes out better.
The psychedelic Jasper came out a little less swirly than I had hoped it would. You can never tell on the outside how the inside is going to be.
As for the seam, how did you cut it? It doesn't look like you cut off the face, but rather took off the top like slicing off crust from a bread. It looks great.
I'm hoping to head back out there on spring break. If I do, I'll toss a couple more things aside for you.
Lowell
