I've got a small & a medium FRB of Cosmo agate from Cedar City, UT. There's lots of colors & dendrites. The MFRB  contains 2 - 4" pieces, perfect for a 6-10" trim saw. The SFRB contains 1/2" - 3" pieces, perfect for tumbling or cab-from-a-chip, often without needing to saw first. I use my supergrinder http://gemstone.smfforfree4.com/index.php/topic,2499.0.html to make many cabs this way. I've got a couple of cabs from this agate in my etsy store. Click the banner at the bottom of this message.

Send me a PM if interested. Price includes Priority Mail shipping in the US. If there's demand, I can put together more FRBs of this wonderful agate.

I have gotten some of these agates from Zarguy.  They are really pretty & have such a nice assortment of colors in them.

I bought a box of Cosmos...neat stuff...a great variety of color. Trim saw pieces. I polished some edges of a couple chunks...great polish after dry 600. Lynn says small piece are more crack-free.

 I suggested a wee bit more forum activity to enhance his visibility... I also mentioned to find the soyrce of the matetial...Lol...easier said than done(spoken from my couch).

Well, here's one anyway.  I have some preforms as well but my cabbing lately has been slowed way down due to just too many other things going on, like my job for instance keeping me busy.  At some point things will slow down & I will get some time to play!  A couple of pictures since these are not the best.

Donnie,

That cab is beautiful! I love the dendrites, colors, & everything about it. I should have kept that piece for myself :>)

I have lots more for sale, but the box pictured is sold. PM me if you would like me to put a box together for you.
