The first four rocks pictured look very much like Baker Ranch Thundereggs. Either someone took a hammer to them or they were broken during the mining activity. I have cut slabs out a few larger pieces I have and they turned out nice with little pockets of agate and crystal.

Looks like you got some awesome deals, Lee. The flame agate is my favorite, I think. That Woolworth micrometer is way cool. Glad you had a good day!

I have cut slabs out a few larger pieces I have and they turned out nice with little pockets of agate and crystal. That's what someone there said. Sad that they are mostly broken up like that. They will probably go north to a friend who is a total egghead...

Rockoonz - Glad you could make it to that sale. Good pickin' you did there.
Looks like you might've gotten one piece of ironwood. The one with the parallel lines in the bark. If so, that was a really good pick.

This one? The one on the left? There was a piece of what looked like Llanite to me that had a label that says something like AZ ironwood

Yeah, that's the one I was looking at, but I can't say for sure.
