Nice! I don't think photos do these little abstract sculptures justice, though. In person, the agate can be so deeply indented and the pressure "fins" so delicate that most folks just scratch their heads trying to figure out what it is and how nature could possibly form something like this.

What sort of acid are you using to loosen and clean up the shell remnants?
