It kind of looks like a cross between Calico Sagenite, and lace agate... Bet Mel knows what it is.

Yep, Jean's right. Calico Sagenite. ha. How do you guys keep up these varieties? It is diverse and beautiful.

There is some similar sagenite that comes out of the same beds in Mexico where the Lagunas and similar agates are found and some of the pattern in this example kind of talks to me as being from northern Mexico. It could also be Big diggins stuff as eyes and sagenite in combination are fairly common there but man, some sagenite is found in almost every agate location so I'm gonna have to say stumped on this one. I just can't peg it for sure....Mel

That's a beautiful slab. I like that verticle tube (?) that extens up out of the sage in the first photo.

Did you get anything from Jeremy? Haha yeah we bought like $160 in stuff from him. Wingate, prudent-man, eagle rock, chappenite, sheep's creek... Eva bought a beautiful slab of Wingate for $20 and I can't WAIT to cab it for her
