Supposed to be very high silica rhyolite, and so hard and takes a great polish.

I look forward to seeing some polished!

No, Gemfield is Southern Nevada. We were in Central Nevada North of Tonopah, probably around 30 miles from Tonopah. So, around 60 miles from Gemfield.

The Gemfield rhyolite is quite different.

If you go back that way, another option is the first road after the Gemfield turnoff is the first turnoff to Silver Peak. Turning there then going in a couple miles is a great area to look. Lots of interesting chalcedony, some candy rhyolite and common opal. Few more miles down is Alkali Hot Spring, which is a great place to camp.
