As a bonus does that include the piece of grape agate in the background to
	Any agate is fun to cut and polish, I would post some pictures of the stuff I have finished but unable to post pictures nor can I add any posts also have a sweet geode I recently cut. So I put this up to see if I can add to profile nothing else will.

I found this comment interesting in the link Mark provided:

This beautiful Zebra Stone is becoming very rare as mining deposits are now too deep to extract economically. With the proposed raising of the Lake Argyle Dam water levels in a few years all the remaining deposits of fine banded Zebra Stone will be permanently under water.
