Hot damn! How do you even begin to describe what's going on in there?

I was always most envious of the finds, whether estate or out in the wild, you come up with. Always with the amazing material. Kuddos, man! As long as you keep sharing these pics, we all win.

I'm never good at identifications...but this looks a lot like some Linda Marie Moss Agate that I've seen lately.

I can see some amazing cabs coming out of these...but I can also see each of the slabs being flat-lapped and left as specimen pieces!

Gorgeous...just flat-out gorgeous!

Not sure the origin of this. I suspect it came up across the border. Have a great day

The variety of colors and structures and patterns from that is incredible. Those blue-greens coming through in the 7th picture or so are stunning.

What are the plans for those slabs? I’d almost hate to see them cut up even though they would produce some amazing cabs.

Holy moley! (passout)

Way to make a come-back, Brian! Those are amazingly beautiful slabs.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
