Nice jasper in a pretty setting. What a nice outing with family too! That jasper reminds me of several places I've found similar looking material. It seemed the host rock was usually some kind of rhyolite or closely related volcanic material. Is this the case in your area also?

Yeah, all volcanic around here. Ash seems to be a pretty good source of Silicon in various forms... Most deposits also seem to have gradations of material from softer Rhyolite like material to nice glassy solid Jaspers.

Those pictures really make it look magical to me! Thank you for sharing these!

Always came back to where I was born. The wet side of the Cascades. My home is about 50 miles from the farmhouse where I hit the linen.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
