Amazing rocks in here 🤩. Some Kentucky orbs:     & an Arkansas wavellite :  Edited to switch to this better orb which I 'accidentally opened' while moving the rock around, heh |

rockhoundoz : nice stuff. Kentucky agate is definitely on my wish list, and now wavelike is, too. Spectacular! jasoninsd : cool t-eggs. Richardson’s eggs are kind of like crazy lace, in that almost anything is possible. And no worries, you can double dip with same slab. I did it with my PJ cab.

(Totally teasing) I slabbed ten different thundereggs...I've got nine other pretty cool ones to show...at least I think they are.  |

I also called it cheating, and was told it was sharing. OK. I can live with that. |

Now I have two more things to add to my wish list. Even after seeing so many pictures of the Richardson Ranch Thundereggs, I’m still amazed to see the variety. I really need to get some of those. Do most people get them in person or have them shipped? I’ve read a lot of contradictory stuff about ordering from them. The colors in those Kentucky agates are incredible! |

Man I Love this thread! Hookedonrocks: That poppy on page two is one of the most spectacular I've ever seen. Got to say if anyone asked me where that Oregonite red poppy came from I would point you to the exact pit where I dug identical material in Hunters Valley, CA. Dead ringer for the original Hornitos Jasper find right down to the habit the Hornitos has of having the patterns distorted or slighted shifted. Guess similar geology does make similar materials....Mel

Big horn jasper with orbs and druzy. Picked up 2 slabs of this a while back and have never seen any more. It is supposed to be from WY. Very nice in the hand.

Beautiful cab.  I'll second this assessment! rockjunquie - Tela, do you know "where" in Wyoming this was supposed to have been from? |

eta BIG correction- I went back and looked at my files. It says ARIZONA.

Midway between Phoenix and Quartzsite. Sounds like a field trip to me!

Possibly Jasperella. The claim is said to be near Quartzsite, which would fit in with the Big Horn Mountains ID. Here's an example  |
