	picture 1 is just a small rock showing several different colored layers. #2 is the front side #3 is back side of same rock 4 just a big rock with some quartz crystal going through (if I'm right). Welcome all criticism

	Very nice agate you have there. Looks like blue lace agate.

	Wow! could have fooled me. I don't think I'll ever get it into my head how much falls under the agate heading. Thanks. Now would that last rock look good slabbed?

	Yes, those are all real good looking specimens. You're in a good spot! Those little blue seams remind me of the Holly Blue Agate from Orgon. There might be some workable material in that last chunk if you slabbed it on the end with all the white quartz. The brecciated host rock wouldn't cab or polish very well so you want to look for agate veins/seams that get an inch or more thick. The host rock almost looks like Pumice so I'm guessing it's some layer of volcanic ash, maybe. I predict you're going to be finding some nice rocks this summer! Thanks for the pics.

	Thanks JoeM was just curious. Don't learn if you don't ask questions. Found another rock earlier the same as the last pictured one. Just from a different spot. Same general area.
