Pulled out the 1st batch for December........mostly San Jacintos with a couple form a trade with Garage Rocker. Hope you enjoy! MrMike, I will ditch the kitchen towel for the next run. Working on new backdrops, per Garage Rocker's recommendations. 1. A couple pieces of San Jacinto palm. 2. Definitely one of my favorites.....fully agatized palm. 3. A few pieces of San Jacinto pet wood. 4. 5. 6. 7. San Jacinto Agates & Jaspers 8. 9. 10. 11. Found this one in the San Jacinto Gravels about a year ago. Only rutilated quartz that I have seen there. 12. Small piece of Fire agate I picked up in AZ 13. Not sure if this was hounded or aquired in trade...... 14. Piece of paint stone, picked up from AzRockGeek. Took a great polish, but no clue what it really is. 15. Cool piece of Crazy Lace 16. Piece of Rio picked up from Sabre5217. Sweet Kentucky Agate from a trade with Garage Rocker18. Another piece of Crazy Lace from Garage RockerThanks for looking.......Jeremy

#2 knocked my socks off! #4 ain't shabby either. Fire agate is way cool, but that rutilated quartz is a really nice find. Great batch, again!

Beauties as usual Jeremy. That #2 palm is sweeet. Did Randy Garage Rocker find the KY agates?

I thought when I bought a box of these from you, they would all come pre-tumbled and look just like this picture??!!!! (sorry attempt at sarcasm) Well, at least I know what I'm working towards. Great batch!!!

Fantastic batch. That rutiled Quartz is really special though. All of them are a pleasure to look at.

I'm defeated again. You guys slay me.
The quartz is tourmilated. That is shorl in there. Rutile is different. Finer and not black.

Dito above, did you say you found a 300 pound log of #2 ? #1 too. The petrified Kentucky mustard too nice. Do you find moss agates like #16 at San Jacinto ?

Jeremy, I found about a dozen palm cobbles on the Rio. Thousands of wood laying around.Much was trash in that is was poorly silicified.. Every single palm was solid high-grade agatized material. Not necessarily flashy, but solid. I searched the cobble bars hard for palm and concluded the palm is uncommon. The palm in the road gravel around George West was common and beautiful. But big pieces were hard to find. You need to gain permission in a gravel pit around GW or hit the lake.
