I believe it’s a Harris Hawk. Beautiful bird!

Here’s a neat little chunk of Polka Dot Agate I cut a while back. For some reason I can see a whole menagerie of critters in this stuff.

Teddy bears and monkeys.. hippos and camels..

I must be off my trolley (insane)

hummingbirdstones wasn't sure whether to call this chaotic breccia or brecciated chaos. I do believe you summed it up perfectly with 'Hot Mess'

NDK not a local find.. something that followed me home from an estate sale some time back.

Thanks everyone! (cheers)

Hey folks! Here’s a neat one I picked up in a collection a while back. Kinda wild looking on the outside

I decided it was time to take a peek inside

Next slice and we gotta slab. A bit muddy in the cavity

Figured that’s as far as I wanna go as I plan to face polish what’s left

Closer look at the botryoidal cavity inside (after I cleaned it up a bit)

Pretty cool, pretty neat.. thanks for lookin’

I Wanna Rock!!!

I spotted this article while randomly searching google..... I worked at Raytech Industries back in the 70's. I jumped around different departments: Paint shop, Sheet metal, and final assembly of the 18" slab saw...... Great to see them around and kicking

Very cool, thanks for checking in!

I Wanna Rock!!!

beefjello look how similar yours is to this one I recently passed along to jasoninsd

I’d say there’s a good chance the owners of those two splats shared a very similar diet!

I found wrapping the jaws of your pliers with tape helps to cut down on the tool marks. Great job

Hey folks! Here’s a neat little chunk of Stone Canyon I cut a while back. This one was loaded with a little bit of everything!

And here’s a few slabs I picked up from Zippy at Desert Gardens last month showing some variations of the material

Thanks for lookin'

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)
