blarney i said no way when i got up -- then after a bit and some coffee i talked myself into just a ride there to look around for more spots --(and i did find acouple more places to stop haha) but i would stop and look around and i just couldent leave it there haha i walked a wash today where i found the fake SCJ and i found two more with dif colors inside but there are some pits in one and the other might have acouple fracturs (there in the first pic)
ok somebody just said it if i collect any more rock ill need to have a dump truck follow me if i ever move from here haha ---SO for all members all you see here is for sale 1.50 a lb ill try and get them in a flat rate but some are pretty big so they all might not fit if ya see something ya like and dont mind if it chisel broke ill try and break them down to fit

Woohooo Johnny!! What beautiful stuff you found. 2nd pic, that rock on the top that is up on it's end ... kind of looks like a jelly roll. Have you cut that yet just to see more? It looks awesome, kind of it reminds me of the colors you find in Flint Ridge Flint. Wow, I am really amazed, and wondering how on earth you are still walking after picking all of that stuff up. ;D Good job!!

Wowser John! What a bunch of colorful material! Got to laugh at your comments as I'm the same way. Always say I'll give myself some rest and heal time and wind up taking four Advil and going out again *L*. What can we do, it's a compulsion!.....mel

Looks like you found a great spot there John. So why couldn't you have done this before I came up to see you? I'll have to make sure MaryAnn sees this. You may have a visitor this weekend!

naa i been an ebay and on-line store addict haha i lived in philly and spent allot of time in jersey and theres acouple places to go hunt but what was there never seemed worth the travel and expense to get it so i used the money for buy rock haha -- plus when i started gettin into rocks i had just got hurt and spent mosta my time in the chair watchin tv haha-- you don't know how good it feels to get out and do something i really like now even if i pay for it when im done

tweetie there is no such thing as too much rock! we just say that sometimes because we think we ought to. we don't really mean it!!
sands you are finding some fine looking rocks. that green/marroon is pretty!

Sands, I think I know why you never went rockhounding before -- you only go if you can find the really good stuff! ;D Well, you sure seem to be finding it now. I'm amazed that you are finding that essentially out your back door. What's the slogan for New Mexico?.... "The rockhound state"... should be, anyway. -Don

Sands- I thought you said you didn't know how to rock hunt? I can't wait to see what you bring home when you get a little more experience!!!! LOL. I got a good laugh at your account of driving down the road and picking up rocks out of your moving truck. Been there done that on my 4wheeler.....one of these days it's gonna cost me....LOL. gaetz
