Stomping the beach sounds like fun, but it probably was more fun in a chemically enhanced state of mind.
It makes sense that the phosphorous dried out in her pants once it was out of the beach water.
Yikes! She couldn't wait to get rid of those rocks - they were burning a hole in her pocket. LOL

Whatever it is, it's a great specimen!

Sorry about the fractures! That is frustrating!
The top one looks a lot like Flower Garden Agate from WWR.

Bummer Tony! I hope the damage isn't too bad!

I'd be interested in any cabbing material you want to part with. Maybe we could work out a trade.

Congrats Jim!
Pigeon Splatter? That may be a little graphic for some... LOL

I can't wait Don! I _love_ crazy lace, ever since I was a kid and first saw it.
So is that just desert varnish on the outside?

That's a fantastic shine on those. Well done!
I love eye agates and that Bahia is a beauty.

I hate fractures and normally cut them out if the rock is worth saving. It would be tempting to tumble this one to see if you could bring out the eyes and display those, not the fractured face.

WF = Work Force (tile saw), not to be confused with WTF
Tony: I agree on the stromatolite ID.

Agree with Daniel. The QEP blade on the original WorkForce was thick, but cut well and could even be used for grinding.

I was in that area a couple of years ago, but missed this and Brian Head. I want to go back!
Thanks for the photos, Lynn! Landscaping is a great idea for fractured agate.
