Yeah, I see one or two nice ones in there! Just teasing...they're all gorgeous! I really like 2, 4, 7, and definitely #8!  |

That 4th picture really catches my eye. The orange swirls are striking. The rest looks like typical Montana agate coloring but I have not seen those oranges in them.
I’m a sucker for green rocks, so that one also looks great to me.

I think it has cool character. I think number 8 is what's known as a treasure state agate. They don't seem to be as common as the Montana moss agates and I like the fortifications in them. |

I've found some stuff like #4 down here at Railroad Buttes. With the "stuff" (that's my technical term!) I find, it's like that swirls (yellow on yours) are only on the surface. Which makes them really interesting to me. Good choice on slabbing the green one...it looks like Bloodstone in a way. I can't imagine it is...just saying it looks like.  Yeah, the Treasure State Agate is the bomb in this batch! |

Yesterday's finds. Pretty normal stuff with a few cool ones. I just add everything to the pile. One day I'll know what to do with them.  Ummm...this one is the Bombdiggity!  "One day I'll know what to do with them." This made me chuckle...because that's what I think about a good majority of the rocks I bring home! LOL |

The picture above it is the same rock from a different angle. |

I have a tendency to look at anything that's not a Fairburn as potential slab fodder for cabs...but I think I'd be prone to leaving that one whole. I don't know if I'd tumble it, or clean it up and leave it as is...I'd be on the fence about that one. |

I think I would like to polish the fortified face and leave the rest raw. It's in my "Save for later but not too much later" bucket

I really do love seeing your finds by the way! It's making me want to take a trip up to the Yellowstone one of these days! |

Last night I told my wife I was thinking about going up and floating a section of the Yellowstone...I can't repeat some of the words she said last night...but they were intermixed with "crazy" and "what the H.E. Double hockey sticks"! LOL |

It helps to have a spray bottle to spray off the silt for a better look. Let me know if you plan to come and maybe we can go together. |

I was planning on getting ahold of you for some more info - and the offer to meet up is icing on the cake! It's definitely not a for sure thing at this point...yet! I need to get some of her four letter words down to just one four letter word...sure...fine...okay - any of those three would work! LOL |
