Had a buddy come over yesterday to get some of his finds cut and we did some horse trading too..... He gave me a few pieces of rough "Silver Sheen Obsidian"..... This is the agate he wanted slabbed,it's some beautiful stuff with a lot going on with it..Found in Washington state.. He (James) also took home some Montana agate to work for me a couple weeks ago,this is the finished pieces... One for me and the heart for Tammy....(Anniv. present to her).. The slabs I cut for myself.... Ocean jasper... My Granddaughter Amy said she doesn't like this rock,because the eyes are spooky...LMAO India green moss agate.....(Love this stuff).. Can't have a cutting day without Montana's... Last but not least.....Didn't know what this was,because it's hoarded and can't collect it anymore because of private lands here in Oregon.. James eyes lit up when he seen this slab..LOL Told me it's "Holley Blue"...I said "NOOOOO",he said "Oh hell ya'".. I got it in a bucket of rocks from our daughter when they moved into a new house and found the rocks in their basement.. Thumbs up..(pretty stuff)..

Nice! Really like the Holley Blue. I've always thought they should have named it Holley Purple cause all I've seen has a lot of purple tone to it....Mel

So I thought nothing of this agate till someone knew for a fact it was Holley Blue...Never to old to learn...
