Nice haul! I'm loving that green mossy-looking at the bottom - I see lots of luscious cabs in that!

That's a bunch of unusual material Sheri. I can't wait to see Mel's expertise on this bunch. I know I can't help out at all...but I had something very similar to that green last one but mine was red. I may have to post a pic to compare the 2. Steve

Wow nice buys Sheri! Last one looks like nephrite jade with magnetite. One location for that is near Victorville, CA. The Plume in pic#2 looks like Sheep Springs Plume from Oregon. The one above the jade with all the red yellow and orange etc. could be Marston Ranch wood replacement jasper from Oregon. Pic #1 might be Marston too but that color combination is not unusual in jasper so these are just wild guesses....Mel

YOu know, that 5th picture looks like the kaleidoscope jasper I just got, only a bit more colorful. I saw some of that Jade with Magnetite somewhere on line and it wasn't that cheap either. Those are all great finds! Fran

Wow, nice buys!!! That first one is (Rim Agate) comes from the Rim/Bat Cave Jasper sites. See on the bottom of the picture that thin line of creamy white??? Thats the top of the Jasper vein, under it is the vein of Jasper, and once in awhile one gets Agate and Jasper mixed under that Jasper vein, as is your rock, and that Agate can hold Plumes, Moss, all kinds of goodies... Mercy, good eye Frane, that 5th one does looks like K-Scope. I know I have seen some Marsten that sure resembled some of the K-scope...Sheep rock plume and Jade, very nice!!!
