These are awesome looking! I am unfamiliar with Montana Agate though. Is that the designation or just the region. Regardless it's very cool!!

OMG!!!
Ok, I have lots of favorite rocks, but Montana Moss is quickly rising to the top!

I need to plan a vacation to Montana!  Any suggestions where a rock nut might go hounding for this awesome material?

Eastern Montana on the Yellowstone is where the Montana agate is found. I like to hunt over around Forsyth and Miles City.

I am sitting here with my jaw dropped - I am both stunned by the variations and colors of this amazing stone and in awe of the carvings. I think I need to find me some Montana Agate!! Thank you for sharing this pics!

My first cab is from a piece of jasper I found on the beach in Newport, OR my first Mother's Day, 1983. I made it into a bracelet for my daughter Christmas 2017.

Thank you.

They are quite alright, but I think I got a long way to go to have results that justify the allocates (spelling?) given.
Eventually, I will need to get some machines that allow precision. Foredome and by hand only go so far....

Love the way the second one is posed. Looks a lot like looking into a cloud-scape....
