-Sorry for duplication in different threads but just making sure those who are interested in this see the announcement. -
The 2nd edition of the American Agate/Jasper Index has begun!
Vol 1: The Southwest with Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico has been made available!
To download - hit the blue button (NOT GREEN), wait the allotted time for a download button to appear, then follow directions.
2012 Agate Index Vol 1 Southwest.pdf
55 MB: 245 pages: 230 pages of color photographs: Indexes for Locations, Names, and Contributors.
Due to its size, download time will be much greater for this series, but ultimately there will be less volumes to download.
If you know the old index, this one has gone through much changes.
1) The new edition is gathering more states together in each volume. Volume One covers Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. The side effect of this effort is that the files are much larger than before. Previously the largest files reached 20 MB. The new volumes will be over double this and reach hundreds of pages.
2) The new edition no longer divides material by state. Instead it gathers all related material in a region together by type for easier reference. For example, all the thundereggs in Volume One will be listed together. Dugway Geodes from Utah will be listed in the same section as Baker Eggs from New Mexico. This will help with identification of material as it means the reader doesn’t need to bounce between states to match a specimen to the photos.
3) There will be indexes at the end of each volume that list the contents by state and location, as well as by common and trade names (if known). This will help people who are using the index to research the type of material found at a specific location. There is also a contributor index in the back showing the page numbers for their photos.
