i sssssee a ssssnakehead.
that is gorgeous material Jack, very similar to the orbicular patterns you see in good mexican lace. only the color (colour) is unique to anything i've seen on this side of the pond...did you rockhound that in Scotland? can you get more?

Jack,
Very nice agate there, no? Is that one typical of what is found there in Scotland?
