Cleaned out the slab bucket tonight.
Here is a group shot. The green stuff on the right I collected this past weekend on a road trip to North Idaho. There was tons of this stuff on the side of the road by Riggins, so I stopped to check it out. It really didn't seem like very good material, but I threw in a couple of chunks just to check them out. Now I wish I had thrown in a few more.

A closeup of one of the slabs from Riggins

Another piece from Riggins

A burro creek nodule

and another from the same nodule

A little morisonite piece I found in the sludge in the bottom of the saw as I was fishing out one of the Riggins pieces that had fallen in the oil

Thanks for looking...................Tony

I really like that Riggins green stuff. Any ideas on what it is? Looks like it would make some really nice cabs!

The pieces I got were from where a bull dozer had pushed them off the road after a mud slide, so most of them are fairly fractured.
I went down to the river and picked up a couple of pieces that have been in the water long enough to be fairly water worn, they look to be fairly fracture free, but i have not cut them up yet.
It is a beautiful green, almost looks like jade, but I am not sure what it is.

Pretty morisonite too.

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: New to this, I haven’t a clue on posting. I have about 1 ton of jasper, various sizes. Dec 8, 2024 0:02:13 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

amygdule: I like Jasper

Maybe you can post some pictures here

Rockoonz: gary95340 post on the forum in the introductions, if you ask the question there we can help you get started posting with either the cloudinary for PC or the tapatalk app for apple/android. Not sure if it's even possible to post pics in the shout-box. Dec 10, 2024 11:17:30 GMT -5

gary95340: Easy answer, go to FLICKR.COM. In the search bar enter “Jasper claim” that’s my name on that site. All photos were uploaded by me, years ago. Should be 64 photos, Helen Trumbull shows 4 photos. If you search Hornitos jasper you’ll see some jewelry I made, Dec 10, 2024 23:30:23 GMT -5
