Most of you have seen these pictures in one thread or another but since we have a section just for sharing photos of our favorites, I'm going to post them again besides, I know how everyone here loves pictures. Ok, this is from the Harquahala Mountains here in Arizona This is also a local find, we named the mountain "Shattuckite Hill" This is a piece of Arizona Pet Wood, he's my man with the white mohawk. This is also rainbow pet wood from Arizona, I couldn't believe it when we cut this open. Here is a close up This is also from a local spot we found, lots of different minerals in this slab This is a slab off of a nice agate I found during the first annual RTH trip to WWR Found this at Koning's agate pile. Bronzeite, one of the best examples I have seen A different angle A small chunk of Pipeline Canyon agate I found on our way through Utah. Some of my better fire agates wish the picture would have been better. An awesome nodule I found in Brenda Arizona The next two are also from Koning's rock pile this one too The rest are all nodules I found in Brenda Arizona And this last one is a slab from an agate I found in Brenda Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy the pictures.

Boy Jamie, it's easy to see why those are in your favs pile! If I had to pick a favorite from the lot it's be that outrageous hunk of brecciated rainbow wood but dang the copper complexes are so interesting and the Brenda Nodules so unique that they're all pretty fantastic!.....Mel
PS: How the heck do you pronounce Harquahala? Got some real tongue twisters there in Arizona.

Jamie.......with colors like that, I think you should just be posting those about every month. Thats some of the most fabulous color I've ever seen. That pipeline agate may have just become my all time favorite agate, never seen anything so gorgeous. Sandy

I have absolutely no idea where Pipeline Canyon is, but I do know that I want to go there just on the off chance that I might find rock half as nice as the on this page! All the rock here is eye candy, and such brilliant contrasting colours. thank you for sharing. Woody

Wow, those are all amazing! I'm terribly fond of Rainbow wood and those are some super-fine pieces; but, the copper ore pieces are great too! But, so are all the rest - I can't pick a fav.

That is one heck of a collection. I remember seeing the Pipeline agate pics when you first posted them last year, awesome stuff. Actually they are all awesome.

Jamie, you got some awesome rock specimens! My favorite is of course that gorgeous rainbow pet wood which was in LadyBeabea's poetry contest and inspired me to write a poem. The most beautiful muse I've seen! That red pipeline canyon is also striking. Adrian
