Wow! I've never even seen those first two before and that second one is very cool indeed. Looks almost like a fossil of some kind. Got to say though, I love flame agate and that one is a beaut!.....Mel

Mel,
Thanks, The Idaho Feather Jasper is from my father`s Collection as i`m told the source was dug out pre 1930s, the Rutilated Quartz is facet grade.
And flame red agate very hard to find, I think some time`s i`d find Trent agate before any more of the nice material.

Mel,
The Ames Creek Blue you could find it in the creek, Though the formation it came out of was blasted because people had dug a 15 - 20 foot over hang the wall was over 30 foot tall. the timber Co. went in and made a 40 degree slope out of the wall.
Litte do they know strata formations have more then one face showing.............
Later Jack in Saelm
