The other post "Chinchilla Trip...the Hunt" has the story. This post shows a small sample of what we found. The whole haul. Around 40kg. The biggest piece I took home with me. The next 2 photos are of the same piece. It has veins of both quartz and carnelian running through the pet wood. As well as some druzzy. (I though both Curt and Adrian would like it) The next 2 are also of the same piece. Quartz druzzy on one end... ...carnelian veins running down the sides Can't wait to get cutting. Have a top day, Mike

That is some beautiful wood. Nice haul. That one with the quartz and carnelian looks awesome. The colors and grains are gorgeous. Make sure to let us see what you do with it.

Holy smokes what a haul Mike! Sure nice color and grain in those. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say the druzy ended hunk. Very colorful and a neat specimen!....Mel

That is a heck-of-a pile of pet wood there Mike. The piece with the veins is pretty special.

Mike I'm so jealous looking at your haul.. and your bad ass finds.. especially that Carnelian, in that pet wood.. those are some mad crazy patterns in that 6th shot.. not to mention 3,4,5.. ;D I can't wait to see what you do with that one red one tho.. But that last one.. with the veins running down the sides is my favorite.. totally wicked looking!! I swear it looks like a petrified limb.. finger perhaps.. dunno but talk about a eye popper.. that's going to have a killer pattern I bet.. PUHLEEEZZZ don't forget to post pics on that one when your done working your magic..
;D Roxy.
