Howdy folks, Here's a new batch of eye candy: thanks for lookin....mel
First some unusual metallics:
Red Plumes on psilomelane. Cut this Mexican material in two different directions, one with the plume and one across the plume. Yielded two neat effects with bright red plumes against metallic silver psilomelane.
Siskiyou Stone ( I think that's how its spelled *S*), a metallic ore from Washington state. Think it has pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena etc in quartz.
A couple of moss Agate cabs from the north Cady Mountains on California's Mojave Desert. Lots of different colors at that location. We call the one on the left "Patriotic Moss" as it's often red, white and blue.
And finally, from my last trip to New Mexico, Dendritic Limestone from Lake Valley, NM. This material often has horn coral fossils too but I haven't cabbed that slab yet. Lake Valley is primarily known for fine fossils but lots of cabbing goodies too.
