I got my box from the Burro creek trip!! I'm so thankful to everybody who helped put the boxes together. What a great group of people we have here. I want to come to the next one. Here's pics of my box. And the first cab. I think this is opalized breccia of some sort. Thanks very much!!!!!! ;D Geoff

That looks like some of the agate they get from that area. It seems like each rock has a different surprise in it! If it wasn't so cold, I would get my saw out because this really tempts me! I love your cab! Fran

Awesome cab Geoff! There's some nice surprises in the burro creek box for sure!
fran, put on a snowmobile suit and get out cutting! I slabbed a little of my burro creek stuff sunday. It was right around the freezing mark outside. I bundled up, and threw on the raincoat. I think what really helps is my pair of neoprene gloves... Well, until the water cools and soaks through. LOL

Geoff, Glad you liked the rocks, Catman sure worked hard while we all had fun stuffing those boxes full...lol. That cab is beautiful. I think what Jamie told me was that material was brecciated agate. I got some pieces of it too but don't have a way to cab it right now.

That's great Nate. I think it's a mix of agate and opalite. The white and creamy parts are the opal and the other is agate with inclusions. Geoff

Sheri was finding opalized material the first day she was out so I am not surprised this is opalized, stunning cab, glad you enjoyed the box they were packed with lots of love and teamwork!
