Kaleidoscope something or other




Hells Canyon



Ocean Jasper




Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper



I don't know, perhaps tourmaline in something or other?



Sonoran Dendritic Rhyolite



Big Diggins Agate



CJ Strike - this one is actually darker but this is what happens when the sun hits it.

I think your first one is Kaleidoscope Agate Donnie.  You did a great job with that piece considering all the fractures in it.   :icon_sunny: :icon_sunny:

Yep. Kaleidoscope Agate. We have some, and it's just as cracky but it's a cool stone.

Thanks you all, I didn't have any problem with the kaleidoscope falling apart, just with it being rather soft.  I hesitate to call it agate because it's actually softer than some of the quartz types I've been cabbing.  It looks crackly but it's actually stable.

Yeah, definitely mixed hardnesses and not really "agate". Ours didn't fall apart either but the look scares off most buyers.
