I've got a small pile of Graveyard Point plume agate but most of it is junk and it's been a long while since I paid any attention to it. One piece of face-cut rough caught my eye a few days ago because it was flashing some blue but looked otherwise pretty boring. I started cutting on it and holy crap broke out haha. It's a very diverse piece - probably of Regency Rose variety, and the plumes including some reds and yellows were a huge surprise from a rock that looked to be mostly clear cloudy agate.

Couple of cabs from it...

I have one chunk that is pretty boring to me and looks junky. Maybe i should cut it

Dang, that is one pretty piece of GYP agate. Good (wonderful) thing you have pile that still interests you. My wife doesn't understand the hidden utility of my several piles. She's a gardener.

Also, kudos on the updated portrait.
