Howdy folks, Well, I have a buddy and former Naval Top Gun pilot who has about the same birthday as mine so last night the wife and I went to his home for a sort of combined birthday party. We were standing by his front door chatting when I noticed his landscaping contained Texas Eagle Pass gravel. Also noticed these nice Rio Grande agates which he gladly gave me as he has no real interest in rocks. Took a couple of pics of the finds. Thanks for lookin....Mel This first beauty is almost eight pounds of moss and orbs. This is about baby fist size and I guess is more of an orbicular jasper or maybe rhyolite:

Mel: Next step is to cab a piece, and take it to your buddy's wife. You will either make a new rockhound, or get more ''landscape''' rock. Woody

Those look like they've been tumbled. I see lots of yellow orbs in that first two - should cab up real nice.
