I need to pull those out and take more photos. That was a big batch of tumbles. I reached in an d grabbed a few to photograph. I do not see anything like fire agate.
I'll get you some medicine Carlos.

Those are super cool. I thought that one looked like fire agate too.

The white specs in the botyroids in the first 2 photos are actually druzy pockets.

Some of those botyroids are layers of iron type colors. As they wear they show out. The colors are not bodacious though. But i have a very large variety of botyroidal material
that i bypass. In looking for solid material. And people want the botyroidal stuff. It is easier to get it, as it is in the gravel and smaller chunks. And breaks easier than the vein severing solid coral.
Some individual botyroids are BB sized botyroids and some can be the size of basketballs-just kidding- the size of 1 inch marbles.

Good show, thanks. We don't find boytroidals in near the quantity you have, and they get good treatment here, visually pleasing stuff.
In regard to Pat dropping a rock on the foot: Up at the mill I used to work at, they decided everyone had to wear a hard hat all the time [even in the shop, stupid idea]. The then boss had a meeting of all the millwrights to sort of make an attempt at warming us to the idea. He was reading some article that stated if a rock [not many falling rocks in a sawmill] were to drop two feet onto a person's head, it could break it. I had to ask what broke, the head or the rock. He wasn't amused. Some of the millwrights were pretty hard-headed. Hoping Pat and hubby get better soon. Larry

Maybe if the rock hits the boss'es head things would have worked out better. Japan has shops w/1000 people and one boss. They each know their job and and what to do for the
the guy behind and in front of his station.
Poor Pat. I don't think she whins about too much. Each generation you go back seems to handle adversity better. She was taking care of her hubby quite a bit.

Here in Cali - stupid bosses are getting scarce. That because stupid bosses bankrupt businesses fast in today's economy. Stupid politicians - now that is a different topic.... best left unspoken. Pat is a star. Her husband is truly a lucky man. jamesp and I agree. |

I see you added the word "boobs" to you post. That should really bring lots of new folks here from their google searches.
Cool looking stuff. Thanks for taking the time to post!

Did not consider the long term ramifications. As far as the teenage boys they got what they deserve. Plus their Mom needs to give them a lecture on blindness.
