Some of these I posted pictures of last year, not sure which ones, but since there are some new folks and they like sparklies. And I still don't have it down to capture the sparkle of this stuff. All of these sparkled as good as any diamond too! I do have to apologize for the size of pictures, I've edited and edited. My camera is now set to take them at email size. This piece is in my glass cabinet and isn't going anywhere. This piece sold for quite a bit to a rock dealer. This piece sold to a collector in Texas, the brown flecks are hematite after pyrite that grew after the drusy: This is a huge piece that weighed over 70 pounds. We had 2 people argue over this one, sold it to a couple, then another couple offered them twice what they paid Another terrific botyroidal piece Smaller piece this quality of botryoidal is tough to find, when we find it, they are upside down and look like a junk rock, but we've learned to turn every one over. These few pieces are 1 1/2 years of combing an area over and over and over and lots of digging through red clay mud. We've literally used rapelling gear to get some pieces. Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking!

Those are definitely HONKING HUGE! Pretty neat stuff as well. I think if you like druzy...you would have a ball at Dugway Geode Beds! Steve

Wow those are big. So, did the first couple who bought it sell it to the second couple, I bet not. I know I wouldn't. That specimen with the Hematite is awesome.
