I took a lot of rock to the local club for their silent auction for the annual show this weekend. This was not among the buckets full!! I am running out of room, I like the sock drawer idea!

They will both polish up real good, I got to get a bunch more cut before it is time to go dig some more. Right now the beds are under a foot of snow. Just like the ones in my back yard, well they're under a foot and a half and a fallen Oak tree. But it's not like we've had power to cut them with for the last week either! ODOT said they had to clear almost a 1000 (thousand) trees between I5 and Oakridge on hwy 58, (~30 miles) Hwy was completely closed for 5 days... ready for spring! I heard about that, real bummer. we have had two power outages in the last month but luckily they got it back on in a few hours. Assume you are set up to handle it and are staying warm.19 degrees hee this morning which is the lowest for the winter.

Now that I have scrolled down to find out it is a mite, I see him, too. What is the rock? It is a piece of Carnelian.

I'm guessing you have all these specimens scattered all over the house. I tell my wife that I assign my specimens "stations of honor" to satisfy the rock gods. She tolerates it fairly well. I do need some display cases but I don't know where I would put them, I think some of our book shelves are going to changing jobs. Too many books that I will never read again. All I have to do is get them out of the house when the wife is not looking!

Looks like Graveyard Point Plume from Idaho. It's unusual to see the botryiodal vug. Lynn Yes it does and that is what I thought also but did not want to say that without being sure. It came in a rock pile ethe wife purchased a number of years ago. Thanks for the info!
