Time for a checkin here at the best rockhound forum 😁🏆 I picked up a hefty chunk of Missouri chert maybe 8 or 9 years ago & recently 'rediscovered' it in my garage in a bag of Missouri agate material. Was very pleasantly surprised after cutting it, as I was expecting something more boring. Would've guessed it was jasper from OR or whatnot if I hadn't picked it up myself in MO. Also, not collected anywhere near the Mozarkite zone. After cutting this slice, a large, clear action-scene image jumped out at me, anyone else see it ?💃🕺 😋  Some more slices/ zooms from the same MO chert:    Some KY material:    I love the dark KY agates:  One with wild red moss like I've never seen before:   This blue stuff in this geode really surprised me, still not certain what it is- seems like some hybrid chalcedony/slaty thing 😅  & I've never seen such 'Montana-esque' dendrites in KY cuts before, kinda boring rock otherwise though, haha:  If nobody can see/guess the picture in the Missouri chert, I'll post an image where I've traced the outline ;-). Thanks for viewing : ) ! |

In see a woman, hair in bun. She has a large nose.
She is grabbing some type of flying creature.
I love the moss in that chert.

Thanks for viewing : ) ! Nice Agates! I see the profile of a king wearing a crown facing left (maybe towards an anguished condemned man in front of him? ) in the upper right quadrant. The rest is gobbledygook. |

I have to say, I am very fond of the yellow in Kentucky agates. Thanks for sharing!

Fernwood, I think that sounds like a relatively similar description to what I saw, maybe, hehe. The moss is really beautiful, hard to capture the details in a photo too esp. without polishing... Rockpickerforever: I can't tell if we are talking about the same area since you mentioned the upper right, but the big picture I see could be construed like you explained, I believe 😋. Rocket: I completely see the crab now that you mention it, especially the outline of the shell & the eyes!! Mmmm blue-crab 🤤🍽 JasoninSD: lol, it's not a big stretch to imagine the crane being unleashed amongst all the flailing limbs in this slab 😂. Rockjunquie, thank you & glad to share those, if you're into the yellows, you would be one happy camper out in KY agate country- we have the yellows in all it's many splendors  |

Here's a (very poorly finger/phone) traced outline of what I see in the chert slab: man & woman dancing/spinning , maybe even figure skating pair, hahaha Wow. Now that you've pointed that out, I absolutely see it! Really cool! (And neither one is doing the crane stance! LOL) |

Bust of a bearded, crowned sultan. Also a dog baring his teeth.

So, you're safe! (Of course, that's not to say a person can't be a little "off-kilter" and know it! That one I personally DO know!) LOL |

Okay, here goes. I used thin lines to point out the eyes, not draw all over them. Once you see the eyes, you see the face.
King with crown, anguished/condemned person right in front of him.
I can't draw very well with a regular mouse...

The vicious dog is right behind the kings head. Looks like a guard Rottweiler.  |

Like jasoninsd, I see raised arms, but with the way it tapers, I see a djinn leaving its bottle. The first KY agate nodule (bottom half) has the Easter Bunny in profile. Beautiful specimens. Thanks for sharing. |

Cool! After seeing your king, surprised I didn't see it earlier. Hehe, I reckon we're all at least a tiny bit 'rock-raving mad' in this hobby 😁- but for the record, I thought you were suggesting it was my 'dancing pair' that was bonkers- which I cannot necessarily disagree 😅. Also, the chest/shoulders/back of the king make up the shell of the crab . JasoninSD: good point! I'll go with that 😜. Inbtb: The dog looks friendly to me, but I'm a dog guy so... Fossilman: Thanks , I only show off the ones that I find interesting, so many dozens & dozens of plain ones cut to get a special one! Stephan: thanks! Yes, while I can't quite find the easter bunny, those pastel yellow & pinkish/purplish ones also remind me of Easter! & the red & green ones always of christmas, haha. |
