Wow, what a stone Rick!  I finally finished shooting the latest stones from the garage.  I have been busy and my sister is down getting more lapidary instructions right now.  I cut this piece of Red on Red Pigeon Blood Agate I collected last year.  I like the red in clear but the red on red just has that wow factor.  I ended up doming the other side of the slab because I saw a hairline fracture on the side in the photo you can see towards the bottom but it didn't travel thru to the other side. 

Voting will be tough there are some amazing stones this month!

That's great material and a fine stone Steve.  Thanks for the kind words.  It's ironic -- I almost entered a Pigeon Blood cab this month.   A friend sent me some new rough and I started slabbing it but decided to hold off until I had a better selection of slabs to choose from.  I hope my batch yields some goodies as nice as your entry.

Yeah material has tons of fractures so slab a lot to get some good cutting pieces.  Never tried digging to get under the freeze thaw zone that kills some great material.
