Very cool Tela! I picked up this flat of unknown slabs in a collection a few years ago. It's good to finally put a name to a face! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/beefjello/fun/006_zpsooyzrbed.jpg) Sorry for the pic quality, we had hurricane remnants blowing through the desert today ![(freaked)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/YAejVnraOVBrfgufsr0F.gif)

Here's another nodule of Royal Sahara Jasper I cut this past week. Looks like this one went through hell and back. Cool breccia! ![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/beefjello/cuts/006_zpsbakioe2o.jpg) Last slab and end cut ![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/beefjello/cuts/022_zpsl0ewo1p8.jpg) Thanks for looking ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I think I would polish the last two and display as a butterfly. Maybe I'm weird. Or is saying a rock person is weird redundant? Great suggestion, you weird rock person you! ![(insane)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/sjMRQMtnaKnKaqKFYToi.gif)

Wow, you scored some beautiful slabs Chuck! ![(whoa)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/ZBpcW_8lAJW1apt7RXqr.gif) First slab is Luna Agate from Mexico. I think most of the rest have been identified. Very nice!

Thanks all! I picked up several nodules back when Oasis used to set up at desert gardens. Slabbed and cabbed most of it several years back, but still have a couple pieces floating around. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

That's a nice piece Beth! I just happened to be sorting through some fossil slabs today, hope you don't mind me adding to your thread. Here's a beauty I picked up in a collection a while back ![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/beefjello/slabs/slabs%202/new%20slabs/001_zps5n3fwf5v.jpg) other side ![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/beefjello/slabs/slabs%202/new%20slabs/005_zpse9rwrr7e.jpg) This one is very similar to Tommy's stuff ![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/beefjello/slabs/slabs%202/new%20slabs/011_zps0vrvcd77.jpg) Indian 'Script Stone' which is also coquina ![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/beefjello/slabs/slabs%202/new%20slabs/016_zpsqi46obq9.jpg) Coquina from near Malibu CA ![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/beefjello/slabs/slabs%202/new%20slabs/015_zpsua8ya0ra.jpg) And some 'Devil's Toe Nails' from Texas I believe ![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/beefjello/slabs/slabs%202/new%20slabs/023_zpsl1pdzxry.jpg) Fun stuff! ![(thumbs-up)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/NwJWLOkrXgqcNjdpoXel.gif)
