Wow! That's really cool! Alls I can think is feldspar. I can see why someone might think that - look a lot like oligoclase xtls, however the blue inclusions are probably apatite, which occurs at the same mine. Attractive piece, but skip the coarser grits or you may chip out those blue xtls.

Hey folks! Found this slab at the Prescott show last weekend. Looks like Cheetah Agate, but it's loaded with some kind of blue crystals. Any thoughts? Blue Apatite
