Got blown off of the job today, hard to hold sheets of plywood with 30 mph wind. But the good news is that I got my slab bucket cleaned out before it got too full!! First table The rest of the 34 lb piece of Ocean Jasper that Susan and I picked up. Jason and I filed a claim on this agate in the Owyhees, now unveiling.........drum roll please.................................. Sage Creek Agate My father in law and I went rock hunting the other day when I got off work early (another windy day), we went to the Bennett Mountain agate spot and got a few back pack loads hauled back to the pickup. Here are a few slices. Some cool green almost mossy stuff, location unknown [ Table 2 Susan sent me some petrified coral to play with some pietersite a cool lace that comes from the Owyhees, gonna have to go looking for this one Thanks for lookin......................Tony

Hard to pick a favorite out of that lot, but if I had to ... pietersite! What an amazing cobalt blue that you don't often see.

Hey Tony, I visited jcinpc last weekend and looked at his "cooking set up." He takes the slabs and heats them.....the instructions are on one of his posts. Do you think the coral is worth heating? I've learned more from him and will be exploring more over the next few weeks. Did any of the black pieces show anything of interest? The other slabs you cut are really nice. I like the semi mossy ones and the ones you collected with your FIL. Susan
