This is the end cut of an agate I picked up at the Cow Creek site in Idaho as we drove back from the Owyhees last Summer. Hoping I can get a few slabs with this much color. Stay tuned! ~Roland

that's beautiful! Loving the colors! Do you have a photo of the outside of the rock, too? Makes me think of some of the stuff I have been seeing that is identified as coprolite.( and I DON't know sh*t) Maybe some others will chime in. Watching with interest.

The speckled appearance of the yellow area makes me think of fossil coral, and there's an evil looking face in the south east corner.

Don, I see your evil face, but turn it 45 degrees to the left and you get a cat!

LOL. I turn it 45 degrees to the left and see a monkey face with the evil face on its side to the left. And just below your arrow I see a skull. Turn it 45 degrees to the right and I see Big Foots head in profile above the evil face. Lots going on in the bottom right of that slab.
Ooo Ooo ! Go to the original pic. Above Big Foot I see a poodles head with a party hat on, laying on its side.
Top left I see a zombies face.
Half way down the left side is another face. This slab is possessed. Send it to me and I'll perform an exorcism on it.

If I had found Jesus, he could have performed his own exorcism.

Deb ( snowmom) Here is what it looks like on the outside. I will add some pics of the slabs that I cut. Just need some good lighting. An agate 'expert' that gave a lecture at the Denver Gem & Mineral Show said that there's no such thing as coprolite. I kinda think it would have been difficult for poop to withstand the process of fossilization myself. ~Roland

That's beautiful on the outside, too. I would not have expected it to look like that when cut from just seeing the rough. Interesting comment about coprolite. Do you remember who gave the talk? I'd like to go read about him and his research. Thanks Roland!
