Yeah, and I'm assuming one on the bottom. I've been calling it plume agate but I'm not really sure. It looks alot different slabbed than tumbled. It's intensely colorful and has lines and "flowers" in it. There is a lot of yellowand white you can't see in the cabs, but it does make pretty cabs, doesn't it?

Whoa, that is a spooky piece John. I was away for the weekend, maybe I had too much fun? But look at the curly headed madman leaning his face on the right side of the green fetus and the white hair and white bearded troll on the left side. Vivid images...you guys have to see them, gives me the creeps bad. Later, Don
