Â I admit it. Dave Iris is a little diffraction rainbow found is some things cut Montana agates. It's really a useless feature, except it's super bitchin to see! Woot! |

Dave The lighter the agate,the more chance of iris!! I buy a lot of clear Montanas and some do give me iris and most will give you a turtle back design......... |

He has cut a lot of agates so he definitely knows what he's talking about Dave. I'm not sure you'd see the iris if you tumble them but it might show itself. I've only seen a few Montanas with irising and it was definitely cool. It looks like a rainbow inside the rock but you have to look at it in the light to see it usually. |
