Zapata steals the show for me Carlos.That is the most heavenly place to collect agate on the earth.Tooooo many crazy varieties.And no fractures on Zapata stuff. Do you see badgers there? I did.They acted like i was a flea.Just walked by me like i was a nothing.Cocky rascals.Guess they can take care of themselves.

I've seen one badger. Nice pelt on them bad boys and they aim to keep it. There used to be llamas on one place I went to. They liked to sneak up on me to see me jump.

I can stare at these stones all day. Nice job. The green jaspers almost remind me of Big Sur nephrite jade.

What sort of camera did you use to get that close? As some of you may know already, I'm going to be buying a new camera sooner or later.

great job on the tumble and the photos. The moss agate in there is probably my favorite.

Carlos, Beautiful material, good tumble, great shine and excellent macrophotography. The only things not shining were the tile spacers. A couple hid away in your photos. Congratulations. Tom

I use a Lumix DMC-FZ235. It's 2-3 years old. Canon puts out a nice camera as well. Check the reviews when shopping.
