Chuck, that first one would likely NEVER leave the favorites basket! All great, but that one has a lot of "goodies" going on in it! Edit - I opened this thread on my phone and posted the above reply...I'm on my laptop now and WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW!

Excellent. Yup, number 1 does it for me also- and you did a fantastic job on that turritella!

Not 100% sure of an I.D. but I remember I thought it was something Mexican. Chuck

Chuck It would've jumped out of me anyway, but this week I purchased a slab from eBay and the name they applied to it was "MOSS PLUME BANDED AGATE JASPER" - which tells me NOTHING. LOL However, it is very similar to this piece...not as "busy", but has the banding and the plumes. I picked it up to hopefully use for this month's cab contest.

Great job.

Very nice! Number 3 is intriguing. What is it? #3 is a piece of agatized coral from Georgia. I got that rough from jamesp many years ago. I made a really nice pendant from that same slab. Chuck

Not a positive ID, by any means, but I wouldn't put anything past Crazy lace. It pulls out all the stops to wow us. Looking at it on a bigger screen, some of the matrix also seems to suggest that it might have come from some sort of T-egg-like thingy (I know, very scientific lingo).
