That is some cool druzy! I'm planning a trip to MO this June and if I get my way, my truck will be half loaded with that stuff!

Those really look great! I love finding stuff myself but don't get enough chance to do it. It is great that your club plans some nice trips. I am hoping that my club will plan some trips soon....The person that was doing that stopped and I am too new to even know where to begin in this area. Fran

All right, those are freaking awesome! I love that druzy stuff from Missouri and Missouri Lace Agate. The specimens in the last two pics are especially neat.....Mel

Wow, I love the the last pic. The druzy specimens looks similar to the druzy rocks found at the Summerville agate pit in Georgia. Fasinating material to look at under a magnifier or microscope. Course the last speciment pic, I don't think can be found in GA. Thanks for the sharing. Still Digging in the Dirt, Frank (GaRock)

I loooooooove the drusy! Gorgeous stuff and that area is good for it. That is some very nice quality drusy also. We are working on buying the property where we have been getting all of our drusy. Eventually I'll kick myself in the butt and start posting some pics of the drusy!

It's the glitter, all that beautiful alluring glitter. The fourth pic down is amazing and I love the subtle banding that shows up on the edge in the fifth pic.

Most if not all of the specimens showed banding, however subtle. The fourth picture is the type of matrix all the other spcimens occured in, although most pieces had broken away, the impressive specimens where larger cavities in that type of matrix. I had to use a pressure washer to blow all the dirt and mud out of the holes and cavities.
