I don't know if these are pseudomorph or what. The pinkish one looks like Sagenite to me. The Geode...not sure. Maybe someone can help with an ID. Pseudomorph Geode??? Sagenite nodule?? Close-up Steve

Steve, I'd say you nailed it, definitely sagenite, pseudomorphs after acicular or bladed crystals ( calcite or aragonite maybe). Beautiful specimens!.....Mel

Mel hit the nail on the head as you did..great specimins..just remember, pseudomorphs and epimorphs are usually very fragile super nice as usual you've come up with some great material.......later and have great day..Ron

Steve, you come up with awesome specimens. That pink one just floors me. I'm beginning to think you are a specimen magnet. lol
