The slabbing season is over for me this year :-( Just getting too cold. Here are some pictures of the some of the slabs I finished the season with. All are shown wet. If anyone has ID's for any of the slabs, please let me know!
I don't know what this first one is, but I call them my Spooky Slabs. There are ghostly apparitions in almost all the white areas (or at least that is what I see!)

These next 2 are what from the rough I thought might be Graveyard Point plume agate, but seeing the slabs I am not so sure. Whatever they are, I like them!

This rough had lots of bright turquoise-ish green on the outside. Was hoping for more inside, but there are just a bunch of really thin lines of green.

These next 2 are from different parts of the same rough. It is rather dark, but I like the dark spots and lines and the orange-ish dots are nice too. The really dark outside edge is the rind from the original rough rock. Don't think I have ever seen such a thick, and differently colored rind before.

And finally, a Picture Jasper of some kind

Only 5 months until the start of slabbing season 2022!
