Nice finds. So many cool rocks often hide in landscape mixes.

Think how much fun it would be to poke through the gravel pit that this material came from. Often they have large piles of material sorted by size that are productive. Permission for access required and hopefully on a pile not being actively worked at the time. You have a good eye for interesting rocks.

I started picking for quartz as a tumbler filler. Then we started noticing the cool stuff.

My wife knows it's going to take a couple minutes for me to even get into a store when she wants me to go shopping with her! LOL

Sometimes those quartz filler rocks polish up so elegantly that they become a benefit in themselves and true keepers. I grew up in Central Illinois where black dirt is king and you had to go to an old glacial moraine to find good rocks. In New Mexico, we have to look hard to find dirt of just about any color other than tan.
