Hi All, I haven't posted any pics of what I've been slabbing lately, so here it goes. Hope you enjoy! This is some crazy lace, but is more crazy than lace! ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7772_zpsc393aadc.jpg) A nice little banded agate seam ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7768_zpsd6acf332.jpg) Got some rough of this at a local action recently. It is supposed to be piranha agate. The intensity of the colors isn't really shown too well in the picture. ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7769_zps9c592c50.jpg) Another piece from the same auction. A lot going on in this piece. I guess you could call it a plume agate? Any ideas what it is? Some nice golden color in this plume agate. Anyone have any idea of what it is? ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7770_zps3f894c4f.jpg) Don't see too many purple rocks! I have no idea what it is. Any guesses? ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7771_zps22d56ae4.jpg) Slabbed this from a heal that I picked up at our lapidary picnic last year. I thought I wrote down what it is, but I guess not! Any ideas? ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7773_zps2b92617d.jpg) Another piece from our lapidary picnic. Supposed to be imperial jasper, but I am not so sure? What do you think? ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7777_zps2591cc3e.jpg) Another nice plume! Any ideas on the name? ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7774_zpsc226d901.jpg) No idea what this one is either, but I like the colors! ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7775_zps937f37dd.jpg) Some Noreena jasper: ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7778_zpsdaecf83f.jpg) And finally, some petrified wood. It is supposed to be from Medicine Bow Wyoming. This slab is with the grain: ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7779_zpsf0387b4d.jpg) Here is the same piece of rough cut across the grain: ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7780_zps63a4a504.jpg)

North Cady's Yellow Plume?? Really old stuff is all yellow but what's out there now is red and yellow. Yours could be middle-ish ![](http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q722/Herb3845/IMG_7770_zps3f894c4f.jpg)

Nice stuff. The purple one looks a lot like the purple agates that are found near Sheeps Bridge in Arizona. The photo after the purple one is pretty awesome, not sure what it is but, awesome none the less.

#2 looks like Missouri lace agate. #4 looks like some rooster tail I have somewhere around here. Fran
