Agate/Jasper Index 9: Oregon is now available!
Over 100 pages (yes, it's a monster) of material!!!
The prettiest index yet!!!
This project started in February and since then, with the help of many many people, we've been able to put together 9 databases for material across the country that collectively have been downloaded over 600 times.
Please note: These indexes can be shared with friends and clubs for free. There is no cost to pass along these download links to other people who may not know about them.
The American Agate/Jasper Index is designed to be a database of material found in North America. The main goal of this collection is to aid people with identification of specimens as well act as a visual guide to quartz gem materials. Each index will focus on a different region. These are designed to be downloaded for free and are created from photo submissions by rockhounds across North America. Updates will occur periodically as new material is submitted here and via email. (PLEASE submit new material!!!!)
