West Virginia Agatized Coral Slab

Quarter-inch thick slab of agatized fossil Lithostrotionella coral from West Virginia (thanks to John Heinz for cutting this piece with his slab saw).  Lithostrotionella agate is the state "gemstone" of West VA.  It's held up to light to better reveal the coral polyp structure.  Dark areas on left and right are limestone matrix.

Hey Victor, Nice slab there.
I believe you recently got a piece of this Iowa agatized coral from John, too.
Here's my piece cut once. Going to polish it up some.
