Those are so cool! So does that formation in the last photo come about because that's where the water seeped in? Are those lines rather like growth rings?

Man.....those ARE SO cool. That one....it almost looked at though something was stretched across it. I bought 1/2 of a double one like that at a gem and mineral show 2 weeks ago. One of the nodules looked like that - stripes - but no hollow part. The other nodule was saphire blue. I love the one in the first pic. That red spot is pretty.

They are in fact two sticked thunder eggs, aren't they? Those level lines are gorgeous. Adrian

The parallel lines and the cavities are formed when the solution seeping into the cavity gets pinched off. The parallel lines are an Onyx fortification and indicate level disposition as opposed to the solution flowing around the outside of the cavity.

The matrix (red-brown) on your double certainly looks like a Richardson's t-egg to me. I've cut a lot of those (and actually going to visit there later this week). I've even had some with hollows and tube-growths exactly similar to what you got.

gary95340: Hello, I read the Jasper Point post, 2009. I am part owner of the KAREN LYNN claim. It’s located in Hunters Valley. It’s a Jasper load claim. To my knowledge it is illegal to collect rocks in the Lake McClure area, owned by MID. Jasper Point is in MID Dec 7, 2024 23:57:23 GMT -5

gary95340: Jasper point is a geographic location easily located on a topographical map. It obtained its name, because Jasper was mined there at the time of the railroad. I visited the site by boat during the end of the last drought. Dec 8, 2024 0:08:15 GMT -5
