This is another piece we found in Clear Creek earlier this year - I had whacked the end off it previously but had discounted it thinking it wasn't a good example of Plasma Agate - after taking a closer look at it and actually grinding on a piece I realized that it's a fantastic piece - stronger and a lot less soft spots than the typical Plasma. As if Plasma Agate wasn't wild enough in the typical stringy patterns... orbicular tendency? I'm working on a cab that I cut from the small broken section in this photo - it should be stunning if I don't screw it up haha. About four slabs in I started noticing this area of sky blue in the middle. Any ideas what type of material inclusion this might be?

Whoa Tommy, that is an amazing piece! I don't have an answer to the inclusion question but I also hope you don't screw that cab up! hah! Can't wait to see it when you're done.

Amazing stuff Tommy!! Unlike any Plasma I have seen before.. wow! Can't wait to see the cab! Judging by the work I've seen you do I'd say the chances of a screw up are slim to none

Whoa, nice stuff, Tommy. It looks like a chameleon. It is so well camouflaged, how did you even find it? LOL! (Yeah, what Roland said, don't screw it up. You know I'm kidding...)
WOW!

I'd call that "ornatastone". It looks like Uromastyx ornata - "The Ornate Dabb Lizard"

Absolutely beautiful, I would say it should make some great cabs, but I have already seen the great cab you made from it.
