Beautiful material! Some of it looks like what I've seen labeled as Mt. Broadhead Moss Agate from Utah. But, no one I've met has ever been able to tell me exactly where Mount Broadhead is. Also seen some similar stuff from near Nephi, Utah labled Swirl Agate. Haven't hunted that state too much myself so I really can't help you much on those...Mel

Some super stuff Jamie! I guess I'll have to head down that way sometime. I know we are doing a job in Cedar City...I guess I'll just have to volunteer to go on that one. Thanks for the pics and the heads-up on the location. Glad you guys made it home safe...it's too bad we were'nt able to hook up. Steve

HOLY CRAP!!!!! Excuse me as I pick my tongue up off the floor! Damn Jamie, those agates look like Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico agates all wrapped up in one! How soon should I expect to get my box? Oh, I just sent you my new address, so I'll check my front porch tomorrow!!!! Excellent cabs too Rodney.

Steve, I sure wish we could of hooked up too, we drove past willard mountain, your crazy if you hike that mountain.....All I saw was avalanche areas and rock cliffs. We did spot the mine on the face of the mountain, it looks like a huge mine, how the hell did they get any equipment up there to make the cuts? Was it just blasting? Straight up, thats for sure.

ga, ga, ga, I think my brain just melted and poured out of my ears. This thread should have a warning on it "Please use sunglasses to view". That is some incredible stuff Jamie. Tell Rodney he made some beautiful cabs.

WOAH! Those are some truly amazing finds. The colours are so intense. How long would it take to drive from Brisbane to Utah?

Allow me to join the OMIGOD! chorus. That is some of the finest-looking rough I've seen in a while. Just one more reason why I sometimes like rough rock as much as the polished stuff. It's amazing. I'm not sure I could have left that 3,000 square foot area.
Wow. That's all. Just wow.
