I hope it is not too late to submit my cabs as it is still not midnight Pacific time in the US!  This is Amethyst pink lace agate from Mexico. Unfortunately, I made an insane number of extrmely rough preforms months ago and then my machine broke down and this was the first chance I had to actually grind, sand and polish them. This isn't perfect material, so you will note some flaws, but I am pretty happy with the large teardrop. I am still tinkering with hte other two.

Thanks hummingbirdstones. I'm actually (true confession) not in the Pacific region myself, just pointing out that it still isn't quite midnight somewhere in the US (LOL) and my husband just came back from California only a few hours ago, so that counts, doesn't it?
