Howdy folks, Grabbed my last two from the soak. Here are a couple of more pics. Thanks for lookin....Mel Kind of an odd moss. Long red filaments in a chalcedony base. Find this type fairly often in the Rios and have never found them anywhere else except a little at Woodward. One wonders how many of these agate types in the Rio gravels have long ago eroded from the host rock so the in situ sites are now extinct and specimens mainly exist only in these ancient gravel beds Another green one. I guess it would be called a kind of plume agate. I've found fine green plume in some of the little tumbles but have yet to find a really great green plume ( like some of Matt Dillon's) for my type collection. Got to keep cutting I guess.

SWEET! That second piece looks a little like that expensive Linda Marie agate.
