Here are a few specimens from 2008. Most of places I collect happen to be on the border of Oregon and Idaho in the Owyhee Mountains. All specimens were self collected except the Bruneau and the Graveyard Point which were old stock material that I just purchased last weekend.
Graveyard Point Plume Agate
Probably one of the nicest pieces I personally have seen. Specimen is 4 X 2 x 2 inches and weighs 5 oz.
Owyhee Picture Jasper
Not necessarily the best piece but I love the colors and the beautiful polish that the face took. Pieces is 4 x 4 x 3 inches and weighs 7 oz.
Black Bruneau Jasper
It maybe small but it's hard to find it in black with orbs unless you have some serious cash. Pieces is 2x 2 x 2 weighs 3.5 oz
Jamison Oregon Petrified Wood
Both of these pieces were collected back in June and are some of the best wood specimens I have collected. The first one is 8 x 3.5 inches and weighs 3 lb.
The second piece is 6 x 5 x 3 inches and weighs 3.5 pounds.
Reynolds Creek Idaho Petrified Wood
This little guy looks like you should throw it on the fire it looks like it just was cut from the tree. Specimen is 3.5 x 1.5 x 3 inches and weighs 3 oz.
Same piece side view
Dino Bone Utah
This specimen I found in Tony's rock pile back about 2 months ago. The piece is 5 x 3 x 2 inches and weighs 2.8 pounds.
Figured I would help fill the new section of the forum.
