Love the electric blue bands on this free form cab I made out of a Kokernut o6 Ranch west Texas agate. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agate #agates #cabochon

I think this one will be gorgeous after some clean up and polishing. It is bluish/green underneath the crust covering it. Found in south Texas west of La Joya. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures #agate #agates #rgv

This one should make a great before/after video. I love the reds buried underneath. Found in south Texas west of La Joya. #bluewizardrocks #rockhound #rockhounding #lapidary #rgv

3 Woodward Ranch (?) moss agate slabs I polished. The 2nd one looks like a fat Italy. Beautiful material that was difficult to keep together and clean. #bluewizardrocks #rockhound #rockhounding #lapidary #rocktumbling #mossagate #agate #agates

West Texas agate slab I polished. I like the contrast between the unpolished host rock up top and the agate. Love this piece! #bluewizardrocks #rockhound #rockhounding #lapidary #agate #agates #mossagate

Some of the Texas petrified palm wood I have completed. A lot of it was agatized and polished up brilliantly. #bluewizardrocks #rockhound #rockhounding #petrifiedpalmwood #rocktumbling #lapidary

Once upon a time this little gem was a seed. Seed grew into a tree. Tree fell, & was covered in hot ash. Cast was formed after tree burned away. Inside that cast mineral rich waters evaporated. Cast broke away & #limbcast was revealed. Metaphor:you can do hard things! #rockhound #oregoncoast #pnw

Quick illustration of the crazy variety of agates that can be found in west Texas by Alpine. I just finished a batch for a friend, mainly scraps from cuts for other lapidary projects. Pretty stuff! #bluewizardrocks #agate #agates #lapidary #rockhound #rockhounding #rocktumbling

Another Walker Ranch surprise out of west Texas. I am going to cab the larger side and tumble the smaller side. Beautiful material! #bluewizardrocks #agate #agates #rockhound #lapidary #rocktumbling

Before/after cutting of a Walker Ranch agate nodule from west Texas. I cut along a fracture line. Crazy cool material! I will cut cabs from the larger piece and tumble the smaller piece. #bluewizardrocks #agate #agates #rockhound #rockhounding #lapidary

Before, during and after polish. Mystery rock found in south Texas west of La Joya. Wish it wasn’t so fractured! I hope to find more of this material soon. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rocktumbling #rockhound #rockhounds #rgv

Black River agate from Argentina I polished. This guy took 6 months in coarse grit rotary tumbling before I was satisfied to move it on to polish. #bluewizardrocks #rocktumbling #rockhound #lapidary

Love the patterns in this self collected central Texas slab I cut and polished. Probably chert. #bluewizardrocks #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures #lapidary #rockslabs

Pretty nifty west Texas agate! The dark top actually has fortification bands that are difficult to make out. #bluewizardrocks #agate #agates #rockhound #rockhounding
