This one tops them all by a mile. The clear vein through this one has red freckles in it. Un-efin-believable. Hard to get a good photo of it when I am that excited. Cut some thin slabs off the end before I hit the jackpot. RUSS, I LOVE YA MAN. This location has been nothing but fun right from the start. Jim

Now Jim, It's perfectly OK to jump up and down a bit longs as it don't give you a stroke or sumpthin. So that has a jade look to it. Is it nephrite? Really like those odd red inclusions, maybe some kind of iron based inclusion in quartz. Nephrite of course, has a lot of iron in it....Mel

Well, gee, Jim, glad you liked those rocks.
Yeah, that's nephrite, we've checked and double checked everything we can without spending a lot of money. I've got a couple of pieces here with some red inclusions but not quite like that. I've got a feeling we'll be back over there before too long. I cut a few of the agates from there today, I'll get some pics up in a day or two.
