Very nice! My favorites are the Rutilated Quartz, the Calico Lace, and the Sonora Sunrise shield shaped cab! The yellow cab immediately following the "I don't remember right now" tag is Sunset Agate from Richardson's Rock Ranch property in Oregon. I think you may have bought that material from me a couple of years ago in an assortment box. I still have a few slabs I think are from that same piece. Here's another piece of it photographed wet (the piece to the right): Larry C.

A lot of real beauties there! The first Lapis and the rutilated quartz are two of my favorites.

Beautiful cabs Donnie! Miss seeing your regular posting on the board.
As Roy said the first one after the "I don't know..." is Royal Flamingo, fourth one is Deedeeite.

Nice set Donnie. I think I like the Oregon sunset best. Lots of nice colors in this set.

Thanks you all! Tommy I thought you were pulling my leg on the Deedeeite, until I looked it up. Surely did make an awesome cab.

the one you dont remember is royal flamingo from nevada Maybe Royal Flamingo but IMO it looks more like the Sunset Agate from Richardson's Rock Ranch dug back in the late 60's early 70's. If it is material that Donnie bought from me a couple of years ago then it's definitely Sunset but if not maybe it is Royal Flamingo. Here's a few more pictures of the Sunset Agate with some areas of similar pattern. Larry C.

Thanks Larry! Amazing how similar they look. I did get the slab from Roy just recently so it is the Royal Flamingo. I've been trying to remember an assortment box I might have gotten from you a couple of years ago & seem to be drawing a blank so now I'm wondering where in the heck I might have put it because I sure would like to get my hands on it. I do love those little druzy pockets in there!

Nice work! I've been wondering where you were since you haven't posted in quite a while.
Do you have any source info on the ones you identify as Shattuckite? I have some pieces that look identical but I don't know where they're from.

Hey, gemfeller! Not enough hours in a day & way too busy with work to spend time playing. I really don't have source info on the shattuckite. I have some I got about 3 or so years ago from someone & I don't remember who it was or where he said it came from. I will make an attempt to backtrack some to find out. It might take me a while though so don't hold your breath waiting on me. I will try though.

I do love those little druzy pockets in there! Hey Donnie, Back in 2012 I was lucky enough to be able to buy a 60+ lb stash of old Sunset Agate as part of a large old collection. A few pieces had this same pattern shown in the photos that resembles your Royal Flamingo cab. And I remembered that I had stuck a couple of pieces in mixed lots that I sold two or three years ago. Also I vaguely remembered you purchasing from me around that time period so when I saw your cab I thought that it might have been from one of those mixed lots that had the Sunset Agate in it and that your cab may have been from it. But I looked back and checked and it was a parcel of Spectrolite that you purchased from me in Nov. 2013. So my mistake. I stand corrected. Best Regards, Larry C.
