I like that opal and the pink chalcedony. Most of them look like they'd cut some nice cabs. Thanks for sharing your haul. 
Is crayola jasper a rhyolite, do you know? I've seen several things that could be Crayola, but they were some kind of rhyolite.

Thanks. Still have a lot more to post, including the waterline agates that I am still cleaning up to get off all the algae and lichens.
There are several materials referred to as crayola jasper.
One down by Ludlow, California that is very rare and very expensive, which is a 5 colored jasper.
In Nevada, there is material from Lovelock, Nevada called crayola jasper that is a jasper.
Then there is material from the Mcdermitt, Nevada area also called crayola jasper that looks to me more like rhyolite, as it appears to have flow banding.

Thank you! Yes, I have cabbed the crayola from McDermitt, I believe. It has little pinholes, too. It just says rhyolite to me. |

Great stuff! Pic -# 25 looks a lot like stuff found at the old Key Kay claim in Kramer Hills. That one and the majority of these came from the Goldfield District, Southern Nevada. A couple of them, the white waterline agates are from Northern Nevada.
Out of the whole State, I have found the Goldfield District to have the widest variety of materials.
Second would be up around Fallon in about a 40 mile radius. Unfortunately, the military is getting ready to take over a very large chunk of the prime lands up there including Dead Camel Mountains.
