Slabbing a Disappointing West Texas Moss Agate

This big agate showed lots of potential out in the field when I first discovered it. Once the slabbing started the truth was revealed……..

Very dense but still pretty I can appreciate it. I think with a very strong backlight it can still be really pretty.

Thanks for the encouragement! It definitely could look a lot better with done back lighting.

A very dense moss agate.
It still is a good one Scott, but after watching so many of your videos...I totally understand your disappointment.

[@spwinaustin]

I just remember being really happy when I found it. Oh well, those are the breaks 😞

Looks good but that coarse stuff is a bit of a bummer 😊

[@spwinaustin]

Yup, I was definitely disappointed when I first cut into it 🥲
