Here's one I picked up in a collection years ago. I could tell it was mossy from the larger uncut end, but decided to start cutting the smaller end and was amazed by what I found inside.. water marks, fortifications, different colored moss and other cool stuff!

I'm thinking maybe it's from Bull Canyon but not sure.. any thoughts?

That is some super groovy material! That first slab looks like a circuit board in agate.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
