Ok, here's my entry. I can't remember which kind of moss agate it is- it came from Tommy , hopefully he can provide me with an ID. Edit- Maury Mountain moss agate. This one is like all of my others, freeformed and dremeled, polished in the vibe. Slab:  Size:  Dome:  Inside:  Outside:  |

Thanks MsAli for replying to that with the photos included... The original post had ENORMOUS photos (PC) and it looks much better in your reply. Epic even. Jahic do you have the means to post smaller images easily? In pic #4 half the cab fills the screen for me. |

wow! this month really flew by me. Fortunately, I was able to pull myself away from cabbing cold mtn. t-eggs long enough to finish this in time. This is Broadhead Moss Agate from Utah, I believe. was very hard to get accurate photos and still didnt capture the suttle color changes in the moss very well. the slab was a bit thick so decided to dome both sides this material was fun and pretty easy to work. there are a few small flaws but overall happy with it. the slab   the cab side 1- the better side imo.  side 2  the dome-  Good luck everyone! |

I wasn’t aware of my pics being large for pc. I do everything on mobile. Is this normal for my posts? I can look into resizing them now that I’m aware of it.

Yes, I believe your photos are normally about twice the size they should be. Have a look at that and see what you can find out. Mobile usually resizes them on the device in-hand, whereas a PC will just display them massively if allowed to. Are you using Cloudinary?

Better late than never. Here's my entry. Unknown moss that I got out of the Traveling Slabette Box. If anyone knows which moss this is, I'd be really happy to know. Sorry for my amazingly cruddy pictures.

If you resize your pics to a maximum width of 600 pixels, they show well on both PCs and phones. I tweek most of my pics (lighter/darker/sharper on Adobe Photo Elements), then resize them. You can also resize in Cloudinary, but I have not learned how to do editing there. |

If you use Flickr, you can post whatever size you desire there, and then select from several options what to show here (about three options each for small, medium and large, plus original). If people want to see the full-size pic, they can click on it, and it takes them to Flickr |

Great job everyone! Another wonderful contest is in the books. Moss agate is probably my favorite stone so going through and processing and organizing the photos has been a real treat for me.
