Great job on those, Ali! I think #1 is also Indian Blanket, but not sure about #2.
Look at you go!

Wonderful — the last one is my favorite with its strong diagonal plus the white on both ends that ties it together nicely.

Taking right to it, I see! I like the 3rd, too. Addicted yet?

#1 came from Beth fernwood #2 came from Walt manofglass and confirmed it is Kentucky agate which Tommy was thinking too. It is softer than most agates I worked with so I thought it might be Coprolite

Very nice! Like them all, but #3 is favorite; like the high contrast. Hmmm, and #1 for the same reason.

It is softer than most agates I worked with so I thought it might be Coprolite If the KY Agate was soft it must have some calcite and/or other minerals in the mix. Normally KY Agates are extremely hard. So much so they can be saw stallers and blade cuppers. When sawing dense KY's sometimes I can't make it through slicing up one nodule between blade dressings. Despite the difficulties slabbing it's still one of my favorite materials! Larry C.

All three are lovely, throw me in the #3 group as well. Sure didn't take you long to get the hang of it, did it?

I have one I am working on now that I had to put down. Driving me nuts Hate to argue, but from the looks of those I have to disagree. Yeah, but I have no doubt you'll pick it up again and kick it's A$$.
