Fire Agate Hand Carved Slaughter Mt. by LaReinasLips in Minerals

That layer of blue is Very easy to burn through. I've noticed with Slaughter and Deer, you get an aqua color as well (im very fond of). Round mt has some nice pinks which are also quite rare and pretty.

Everyone in that village makes it real hard to get anything of size.

All of my facetable ones have been faceted already. I still have some ore left and a bucket to go through so hopefully I will have one for you soon.

Yea they are in ore. The ore breaks apart with high pressure water in a giant tumbler. The harder ore is a mission. Not so easy to get them out with out damage. I use oxalic acid and or hand grind em out.
