Roger: Nice finds. The top cab ( red and black one) looks like it could be plume from the Woodward Ranch south of Alpine, Texas. The yellow plume/moss in the center could be from a number of places. I've seen similar from the Cady Mountains of Calif, Bloody Basin Plume from Arizona, several areas in Oregon, and around Durango in Mexico. The two black pieces are tough. If they have any signs of specks of fire, they could be matrix fire opal out of Honduras. The blue could be a chalcedony /copper mineral, maybe chrysocolla mix from any of the copper producing areas and the fortification agate sure does look Fairburny to me....mel

It looks like you've been having some fun on your grinder. The yellow plume or moss looks great.

That blue Chrysocolla Silicate could of come from Turkey Ridge or Insperation Mine in Maimi, AZ. Nice looking bunch. Thanks for sharing.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
