Here's a recent batch of Tahomas and one crazy lace (at the end). Sorry about the "blurriness" of some of the photos (I don't have a close-up lens.). However, my daughter-in-law has a close-up lens (macro lens?) and she took the photo of the crazy lace (#11) - you can definitely see the difference. These were all taken with indoor lighting.

Thanks for looking & Happy Holidays!

#2 This is the only "flat-top". Didn't want to grind away the plume. This one may end up as an intarsia.

Thanks for posting these! I'll agree with others...number 2 is going to make a killer intarsia! Fantastic material you collected too by the way.

Stunning cabs! Thank you for sharing them.

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."

Thanks Jonathan! There is a wide variety of Tahoma jasper-agate. You can get some nice cabs if you're willing to work around the fractures. I've got quite a bit of it, but hardly any of my larger pieces are fracture free.

BTW, Good video of you and Rob (MichiganRocks) going to get the Nethers Farm Flint Ridge flint ( I hope I've got the right person!).
