Ooooo, I love little T eggs. These are beautiful. The one in the third pic on the bottom looks like a face profile of a woman facing left with a really, really bad hair day. They are all really cool.

Nice eggs! My wife, and I dug at the Hauser beds last fall.........brought back a dozen, and left about a hunderd beside the hole I dug. The few that I broke really did not impress me. Then, after getting home, discovered that I had some pretty nice eggs. I am sure, that I made someone quite happy not having to did a couple of buckets full! I think, that I may have only broken the junk eggs, and then thought they would all be the same. Woody

mynewhobby: I cut all those on the little 7" Workforce tile saw from Home Depot. Only took a couple of minute for each one.
Woody: All these eggs were surface finds from the washes around the Hauser Beds. For some reason, maybe the extra heat from the sun over the ages, the surface find eggs seem to sometimes have more color. The typical Hauser though, is not very fancy, usually just blue gray chalcedony centers with or without megaquartz. Occasionally though you'll find an inclusion that's a real corker. I've got a nice sagenite cab I cut from the center of a Hauser and some solids have nice banding...Mel

Thanks Mel, next time we get down that way I shall go fossicking up the washes. From the short time we were there, it looked like few people got very far away from the roads, and I understand the beds cover a couple of square miles. Woody
