To be local stuff I'd say you have made out like Gang Busters.......I would have to go 100 to 200 miles to even come close to yours and then it would be mostly luck!!!!!!!! no, all luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are some nice eyes on that white one in the third picture. Thanks for taking the time to take pictures. I think we all appreciate pictures of shiny rocks.

Have you been on or around sheep mountain? The purplish with white spots in the third from the last photo is an exact copy of some rocks I got from there. Way cool stone if you can find it without a bunch of fractures.
Nice batch all around. Jim

Keep meaning to get over there again but just haven't made it, there is a lot of cool stuff over there. Most of the stones in that batch came from that place we went to last summer a few times, I know the little purple rock did. I need to get back over there, too. Russ

And thanks everybody. We do have some decent rocks to mess with around here. I actually like taking pictures and all, it's just that I usually run out of day before I run out of stuff to do. You know how that goes.

glad your posting your tumbles again. I like both of these. Is the one on the right a Montana agate? Chuck

Probably the same origin, what we find is generally small and not the really pretty 'Montanas". I really need to get some of this stuff dug out and some pictures posted up here. These rocks were all found in Wyoming, within a couple of hours of Montana. Russ
