Went out and got a nice sunburn and filled half a 5 gallon bucket. Only wanted unusual colors or patterns this time around. Here's a couple Headed back home to clean em up Ali, so what's your plan.....tumble, grind, polish or just scrub up and exhibit.....?

Sorry, can't help with that......I've taken a new approach to Identification, If I can't touch, smell, taste or otherwise physically inspect, ain't gonna even make a suggestion.........lol.........been off-track way to many times....unless, of course it's an Agate, Quartz or Jasper....lol

Nice practice material. Lets see what comes out of it. Looks like you got a match colourwise to your nail-polish (second pic in original post)

Glad you got out to hound. Those finds look interesting but no idea on ID's for you, sorry. In that area you can find lots of interesting stuff including the Blue G Lawsonite if I remember correctly but you would know if you have any of that because it is really heavy for it's size. That green one does look like actinolite.

I got confirmation the green one is Actinolite I lost the blue one somewhere The rest are all jasper and picked up some chuck of quartz.

Nice stuff Allison MsAli. When I drove by you this weekend, I was surprised that Fresno was only 3 hours away. I had thought it was at least 4 hours. One of these days, I'll have to head up there to hound with you...or maybe fishing. Nice work.
