Stupendous! That's lovely, and the black has a soft and fuzzy look to it even though it's a rock. Way cool and I can't wait to see what you do with it. :!:

Wow, I can see why you wanted it. It's very dramatic. And what Pink said - she always beats me to what I'm going to say!

Nice patterns. Reminds me of the dendritic opal from Ed Hales place s/o Valley Springs Ca. Used to also get that thicker off the Snyders Ranch. I left all mine along with the "beginning" collections up to college I had stored there as mowing strips around her Rose garden and grass areas in stockton to help my sisters house sell. Actually was a direct request. Can we have those rocks. I love my sister more than agate if ya know what I mean.

I really like that! And ya, it does have a fuzzy look. I immediately thought of a woolly worm when I saw it.
