Winter storm cabs
« on: December 22, 2015, 02:15:42 AM »

OK I'm in with this Purple Cow Agate before the holidays start.


A nightmare with all the vugs and dirt-spots, but good colour range and a paradise for Pareidolia. The longer one looks at it the more images appear.


Reminds me of Winterstorms rolling in.



Thats other face of the two-sided cab. Will use the first side in a FB challenge as it is a better fit for the current theme.


The second cab comes from an unknown (to me)  material.

Nice winter-scape, I think, front and back.

Thanks for looking, Kurt

Very nice use of the purple cow. Maybe the second one is a type of  Graveyard point plume , a very common plume agate and one of our best and quite variable.

Got a few graveyards and regency rose agates. The plumes do look quite different, so I'm thinking its something other than that.
