While we have had more visitors recently, I've still had time to get out to the shop and do some cutting. Here are some recent efforts.
The first is a beautiful piece of our local moss (some call it plume) agate.
This one had some nice colour and patterning and the inside sure didn't disappoint!
It shows the typical gorgeous golden plumes and some beautiful blue/grey pockets of fortification agate.
The next one was a real surprise. Quite frankly, this one had me stumped on the surface.
It had some nice yellow colour that always suggests sagenite but not much in the way of patterning. But inside...
This one has everything including the kitchen sink. There is definitely sagenite but also fortification agate and deep chocolate areas of what I suspect to be haematite. If I can get this to polish, I'll get some amazing cabochons! And to that end, I've already cut some additional slices.
By the way, these rocks are both local from Digby Neck. Stay tuned!
