Lovely trip! Good looking rocks and fossils. What is that pure sky blue rock? What a beauty! Thanks.

Still sorting and rinsing stuff off, but here are a couple more pictures. At one point in our wanderings we collected some fluorite. Here it is under UV light. Have a great day, everyone. Russ

Looks like a fun day Russ thanks for sharing it! The very second I saw your blue chalcedony piece I thought about a piece exactly like it that I found off the side of Hwy 50 - about 50 miles or so out of Fallon. We were just making a quick stop to let the dog pee and I wandered off about a hundred yards or so when I found it. I've had an itch to go back there and seeing if I could find the spot again and see if there was more. Now that you've attached a name to it I guess I have no choice haha
Wonder what happened to that damn thing - I know I brought it home with us.

These are really nice finds! Whenever my son saw my pretty rocks, he kept asking: "Is it your own finding? If not I am not interested."

Tommy, these are kind of a mess of pictures from the whole summer. That blue chalcedony is really nice stuff. We're still exploring, but that whole stretch along 50 seems to have quite a lot f interesting stuff. Russ
