What I Found Today

Looks like you picked up several that show some potential! Nice finds!!

I was poking around a real estate development site today and I found a ton of interesting rocks! They did a road cut right through this gnarly outcrop of serpentine and some other less interesting rock. I hiked out to it to take a peak, there wasn’t much serpentine, but there was some big chunks of agate-y stuff and some really neat quartz. I wish I could have driven my truck over but it wasn’t going to happen. I might go back for an off hours inspection. The plan is to build houses roads etc. over everything.

Take a look:









The last photo is of the rocks that got me wondering. Neither of them is a keeper but one has some jasper-y stuff going on and the other has some cool quartz veins going through it. 

In the first picture you can see the berm behind the new road cut.

Check out that quartz! Is it banded quartz? And the giant chunk pink agate looks really cool! I have it on the saw right now. I did a triple take when I found it. 

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are finding some cool pieces! Way to nail the road cut area!!

Yeah...I chuckled at the "off hours inspection"!  LOL

There is a lot of construction in Morgan Hill. I found some neat rocks near a construction site off the 101 there. I am obsessed with this green chert that is all around. All of the big pieces I have found are really fractured. I have found some fist sized solid pieces. But all the big ones are pretty crumbly. There was a nice blue green one, looks like a bar of Irish Spring.

In the first picture the hill in the background is called El Toro. I think they found a lot of the Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper on the far side of it. I am still looking
