Hi Brian that purty stuff looks dead-on like the stuff that Mel helped confirm as Henderson/Las Vegas purple agate in this thread.

Thanks all! Edmo, Krystee and Roger posted some cabs a couple months ago showing this takes a nice polish. I'll kick you over a slab next time we hook up.. I'm thinking it would look great in a rockin' heart Tommy, nice stuff you picked up! Scott, 'statutory grape' LOL!

Wow, I don't usually like single colored rocks, but this is an exception, thanks for sharing!

Oh Beef! Lovely Mexican Purple Opal!! That stuff is expensive and rivals Tiffany in many ways. I love it and wish I had more but I'm down to just about 6 small slabs left I'm too afraid to cut the rest of them because the cost keeps going up and up and up.. At local rock shows I've seen medium rough uncut rocks go for a hundred plus, EEK!!! Sent from my SGH-T769 using proboards

Yo Beef
I went by the bead shop today. Closed with a nasty note on the door. The landlord locked them out. Not sure what this means Hopefully I’ll be able to get a hold of Rae There a lot rocks there- that might be going way down
mostly
