I came up with an idea to help get folks to join our rock club. I would make a map showing all of the places we have gone in recent years and attach cabs of the stuff we found there. I figured that is the ultimate thing people want to know about rockhounding trips, what will we find and can I make jewelry out of it. Anyway here is the latest batch.
On the left is Dacite from Yuha Basin by the Oyster Beds. On the right is fossilized palm bog from Calico Ghost Town area.

Left to right; Orange agate/green opal from Kramer Junction, Chapinite from Hector Hills, Red agate from Calico Ghost Town, Epidote and Peridot from Wrightwood, Purple agate from the Cadys gathered on a field trip with Shotgunner

The map project continues. I got some nice free maps from AAA and they are getting laminated at Staples for $12.00 each. I think I am getting close to having enough cabs. I am hoping you all won't complain too much if you see a cab for a second time in a group shot. I did most but not all of these.
These are the singles. DoBell Ranch Petrified wood, McFall Mine garnet, Lithium Queen Mine lepidolite
