I have been putting this off for way too long, but what I had planned to do today got postponed because of the snow we woke up to this morning. I have 2 slab buckets to clean today. I have one done so far. This is my back yard and this is what we woke up to today First table full Obsidian side Owyhee Jasper and Graveyard Point side Dinner plate size slabs of Cripple Creek Regency Rose plume Owyhee jasper, I can't pin down the exact location of this one. Obsidian from our trip with Shannon and Dennis to Glass Butte A few pieces backlit Next table full Owyhee jasper side Misc stuff side Jasper from a site Jason and I were prospecting for a claim on Some kind of mossy agate/jasper, also from the Owyhees A thunderegg and a colorful conglomerate unknown agate Biggs on the left and part of a septarian nodule on the right I am going to start on this bucket next, guess I shouldn't put it off as long next time. Thanks for lookin................Tony

Wow, nice stuff. Oh, by the way, we don't have snow and its a few degrees above freezing. Thought I would rub that in a bit since we should have a foot of snow and be in the minus teens celcius.

Gorgeous slabs Tony! I wish we had some snow for deer hunting this weekend. I was 60 out and I was sweating in my stand LOL! Just for this week, send the snow my way.

A lot of very nice materials, but the obsidian and the Cripple Creek are eye-catching!
