This was a gnarly end cut of a green moss agate. I noticed a red bird shaped spot in the green moss that reminded me of the cardinals when they migrate through Maine and land on the tree branches in my yard, so I cut it to represent that. The moss branches lend the illusion of depth.

I am not a copycat! I only noticed that the most recent entry was of a (lovely) green moss agate after I had finished polishing mine. However, they are different enough that I felt it was OK to post it anyway.  Sorry for the picture size problems. I don't understand what happened to my picture file sizes and have tried adjusting so they would post.

Not what I wanted to post, but no sun for nearly 6 days, so no chance of better pictures.
Still wanna be here together with all those fabolous creations.

My entry is a Mexican Fire Agate. For the purpose here, I will show only one side, but its double-sided, hence there is non-fire chalcedony at one end as that ties in with the design in the back.

Here is the rough


And two slightly different angles as captured last week



Thanks for looking, Kurt
