Great colors! Thanks for sharing.

hey, the third picture, green moss agate. where did that come from? I got a rock that I made a sphere out of that looks just like that. I got it form a friend of mine, it was collected by her father many years ago and she has saved all of his rocks. He was so worried about his rocks and what would happen to them when he died. She has pieces of pet wood that that must weigh 500 lb she wouldn't let me take one to sphere.

Nice slabs there Fossilman, that Ohio Flint Ridge can have some amazing colors.

I got a few more to slab,than I will cook a batch up,the colors should really pop than........

Cook a batch up? Do you literally heat it to enhance the colors? I haven't heard about doing that for Ohio Flint.
-
I agree that green mossy slab is mind blowing!
-
I am guessing the green mossy may be from Horse Canyon. I was just working with a similar piece a few days ago.

Yes,I heat it up in an old turkey cooker...........A buddy of mine gave me the heat recipe.....It's easier to knapp too...(as my friends tell me)..
