Thanks guys. Yea that Chatoyancy just vibrated from every angle. Wish I would have set that one. Still have the rest of the slab though...... Oh wait I just got back form Quartzite and my wifes out of town this weekend.....  Yea it'll be awhile before I dig that one out.

This is a low grade Charoite hounded on ebay. Has a textured finish, due to uneven hardness I spose but I liked the swirls.  Reminds me of a raging ocean and a stormy sky.

Superb show, Me to, I like the tiger-eye best closely followed by the Moss Agate at the top.

All of them are very well worked and looking forward to see them set. :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumright:

Thats a beautiful tiger eye.  And I'm always a sucker for lace agates.
