Lots of Brazilian and Mexican geods. Some LSA, Richardson eggs, septarian nodule, etc..

Saved the “best” for last… I’m starting to feel like dryheads are a running joke! ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/forum-rocktumblinghobby-com/image/upload/v1721588454/llbat5zmcedmrafskzut.jpg) ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/forum-rocktumblinghobby-com/image/upload/v1721588454/nca4zi5ewhz0ntvlaurs.jpg) thankfully it was only an overburden chunk that got mutilated

The garnet in schist is most likely from Alaska.

The garnet in schist is most likely from Alaska. I’ve found other chunks of schist without garnets, so I think he may have collected it himself. Not sure when or where he traveled over the years, though. He was mostly a homebody but his wife and later girlfriend did drag him on vacations sometimes.

This is probably one of the coolest T-eggs I've seen in awhile!! ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/forum-rocktumblinghobby-com/image/upload/v1721587641/fao0lkpestjryleupdvj.jpg)

I normally don’t care much for thundereggs or geodes but fell in love with it. Noticed that there’s a couple other pieces in his display collection that I had found offcuts from early on and put on a shelf for myself!

These aren't good.
We haven't made in a word in vocabulary to describe these. Stunning, still feels too weak. This is the collection of SEVERAL lifetimes.
Every single one is a prime example of nature's artistry

Every single one is a prime example of nature's artistry I feel that way about every rock, even leaverites! Ok, except for Barron sandstone/quartzite because I get really annoyed about how many I find! Glad you enjoy his collection! I don’t know nearly enough about these to judge the quality, but there’s some I really like! The very first picture is a piece of an agate that I’ve found many offcuts of and was hoping to find a half or full slice. Turns out it was used to make a paperweight, but I will gladly replace the offcut on my hutch with the polished end piece!
