Here are some recently unearthed slabs that I have rediscovered since moving. Perhaps I should move more often. Not!

One day, I will polish these:

For the unknowns, I'd be happy to hear ideas, if anyone knows.

I am curious to know what the unknown moss agate is. I just did a ring out of a piece that was tumbled by Billy that looks an awful like that

Me too. It reminds me a little of Bloody Basin, but not quite there (less busy, for one)

Hey, Rich, thanks for that! I've got some of that, too, probably picked up at an estate sale. Always wondered what it was!
