Ok, I'm not even sure how this thing would be described but it's just cool.
I thought at first it was holes but on closer look the "holes" are filled with
clear agate. It's like a window to the inside of it. It was kind of hard to get
pics of, hope you can see what I mean. Also, it has the plumes on one end
and the banding on the other. This is just out of coarse, there's a few places
on it that I'm going to go after with the dremel. No fractures, I want to keep
it that way.

Dry ...

Wet ...

Thanks for looking,
Cher

Not this one Jack it's too big for a pendant. I'm going to get it polished up and put it on ebay. Collecting Lake Superior Agates is quite a big thing and I'm thinking this one is perfect for it, especially if I can finish it up with no fractures.

Sure is neat, can't wait to see it finished.

It's really neat to see inside the rock but hard to explain. I've been trying to scan it but the darn thing dries before the scan gets done. Hopefully when it's polished I'll be able to get a good pic of the inside through frankenstone's eyes.
