Those are gorgeous! I like 8, 9, and 11 especially. The patterns are utterly stunning.

Nice variety that you were able to collect. You had me looking at the area on a map, as we went to SD last year. It's beautiful country, and we happened to go down to where we passed Red Shirt Table Overlook on our way to Badlands. Our trip was not a rockhound trip, but I'd definitely reconsider should I ever get up there again. Question aside, what are you using for lighting for your photographs? The lighting appears bright enough to preserve depth of field without eliminating the shine on the rocks. I was hoping to see metadata for your photos, but since they're hosted on a site...oh, well. I'm flying by the seat of my pants when trying to get good lighting. Right now, it's a skylight as seen here in this thread.Thanks.

Photos were simply taken on a sheet of white paper, in a bedroom with natural light shining through a window on them.

I really dig those little agates and jaspers you find. Lots of color and variety. That group pic is awesome. Keep up these displays and you'll find a crowd out there next time you show up.
