All of them look great! Wyloo is my fav.

Thanks Bill.  I found a pretty good size chunk in one of the Quartzsite tents at Desert Gardens and the lady said it was some sort of Oregon black agate.  I surmised it was possibly Wyloo, and negotiated a very reasonable price.  After coring it with my friends core drill, I was pleased as punch to confirm it!

Another great set of spheres - congratulations on making them.  The Wyloo is also my favourite and kinda reminds me of flowering tube onyx.
