I have cut Biggs too. I try to find the best picture scene as realrockhound suggests. Going with the parallel is confusing to me also. The last photo of the opalized or agatized piece kind of looks like something I bought in Wasco, OR. I call it Wasco agate, but it might have come from China Hollow, I don't remember. Thanks for sharing.

The longer I've looked for Biggs the more variations I've seen. There is some appearance overlap between Biggs and Deschutes. There is also Opalized Biggs and Biggs opal. One of the most recent purchases was called Road Cut Biggs. It was brown not the BB associated with road cut.

Some of it was nicer. A lot of it was blah from what I had seen. That whole valley floor is still loaded with it. I’m sure I’m the future we’ll see different cuts from work done in the area.

This is the Road Cut This one was from Martin Kramer. Some people thought it was Beers Mountain, but Martin knows his rock. I identify Biggs as having a swirly pattern and these are atypical.
