Danny, both the petrified wood and the agate beads are incredible. I can feel them in my hand just by looking at your photographs. And I agree about the feel of a bead, I have always been so impacted or affected by how a bead feels in my hand, whether it be old silver or a fabulous worn stone bead, etc..etc.

You are very talented....Please show us if you use either of these in a necklace or finished piece. Would love to see! Lynne
