Great mixture of really cool stuff, awesome job! The Florida boytroidal coral is really cool, I wish I knew more about rocks when I was growing up down there.

You can sell that botyroidal coral for $6000:)
That is a fine batch.Is that infamous green moss agate from Montana?
It is time to see layers in that colored Montana.Purdy batch Bill.

I don`t know if anyone has tried using the acid based color stains that are used in concrete staining? I may have to go back to my old classroom at the college and see if they still have some to spare. I have died plenty of concrete, some with geometric designs or logos included. Time to experiment with a less porous surface.
