Which one of these rocks do you think holds beauty inside?
 All were cut in half to show what's in them.

None of these are from Colorado though. They were given to us as is, I'm thinking most (if not all) are Brazilian agate nodules. No one picked my favorite (bottom right) , seems it was one of the last ones looked at.
 Guess that's because of the shape? Here is a picture of them turned over ( same positions) revealing what's inside.  Picture is taken with stones wet since they are not polished out yet.Amazing what hides inside some of those ugly ducklings.
