Good grief what a score! Those little blue agate geodes look especially nice. Seen those somewhere before but darn it. I can't remember where they were supposed to come from. The color looks pretty intense anyway . Might be African material......Mel

Beef, I think the blue stuff with the smoky, ammy and citrine is blue quartz. We have it out here at Marsh Creek. Jo

Second from the last pick, big chunk on the right ... I'd bet pretty heavily that it's a Chrysocolla specimen from the Ray mine. NICE piece!
