Crazy dendrites, when I look at them, I almost feel like I'm falling into the slabs! I like the rocks in the back round too! What's with the pic's inside a car at a graveyard? Maybe I shouldn't ask.

Hahaha miander! I had pulled into the driveway and although it was cold outside the sun was warming the inside of my truck nicely. As I sat there enjoying it, much like a cat, I started looking at the recently cut items in the seat next to me. I thought I would take advantage of the perfect sunlight on the agates. Hard to get some good sunlight for photos right now. And, that's my backyard fence, not a graveyard. Unless you count a few former pet fish.... Roland

You guys are going to wear out your saw. Those are beauties Roland. All the clear silica with plumes. Totally desirable. Looks like a successful trip for you and Dave.

What a variety. I didn't realize that you got greens in the moss agates in Texas. That saganite is a knockout.

Those are all really nice, Roland. Especially love that first one. Would you call them dendrites or plumes? Jean

Amazing finds and slabs. I can't pick a favorite, had to look several times to make sure I didn't miss something. I'd keep them all if they were mine.
