First rock hunt of my 2017 TX trip. Teri Smith, my guide, took me to 2 locations on this ranch. First stop was the 'Front Yard'; easy terrain and lots of plume & black agate, a couple brecciated common opals and a shimmering, fine drusy quartz with some plume underneath! (first 8 pics) All rocks were photographed under water except the drusy quartz. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The second stop was on a hill that I forgot the name of. It was more challenging hunting down the hillside. I found a nice green botryoidal agate under a bush at the top of a ravine. I probably would've found more if I'd had my gaiters on and hunted in the grass too. I almost didn't pick up the 2 pieces with the green plume in he bottom because from a distance they looked plain. (2 pics) All rocks were photographed under water. 9 10 This hunt cost me $55. I brought home about 13 lbs. Later, jeri

Great finds, that's less than $.50 / lb. can't complain about that.
Peace, Rich
