Mineral Art and Mystery Rock

Since I have been making a lot of mineral art for the show, I decided to include a few pictures.  I have made two batches of agate plates.  Here are some photos from the second batch. 

I also made 34 animal sun catchers.

Here are a few of the agate windows.

Two of these strange rocks have come into the museum in the last few days.  I still have to research what caused the unusual structure.  Any ideas?

We have been in a severe draught -- at least until the other day.  We had several significant down pours, temporarily lost power, and had lots of lightning.  The photo below is to celebrate the fact that we finally received rain!
