I love cleaning the garage because it always turns into a cutting rocks day heehee. Nobody minds me hanging out in the garage all day cutting rocks because the garage is also getting cleaned It's a win win. This is a piece of Burro Creek that I think I collected. It's also possible that I stole it out of the back of AzRockGeek's truck. Either way we'll call it self-collected The rind looked like this and it came from the general vicinity where purple agate happens - as does an unusual white tube agate. A field created window showed purple so it got dragged home and earned a spot among the rocks patiently waiting their time on the saw. So without further a-doo. I ended up getting three good sized slabs out of it and they are VERY solid, barely any pitting and no cracks.

That's really cool. It has the typical Burro Creek purple, but it's anything but typical other than that.

There is always a plus side to cleaning up an area—- besides having a clean area to mess up again! Congratulations on your find!

I was wondering where that one went. Very Poppyish. We need to plan another trip to restock your garage.

Nice looking material Tommy! Awesome you were able to get "away" to the garage and spend some "me" time!
