Howdy folks, Had some time yesterday so I cut a couple of more from the finds I made in my neighbors rock garden. Here are a few more pics. Thanks for lookin...Mel The weird brainy looking nodule. Second one of these I've found so it is a definite type of jasper but I've never seen a name put to it. It is a porcelain type similar to exotica jasper out of Mexico and really solid stuff. I like the wild colors and patterns a lot! Close up: A real nice solid moss agate typical of the Rio Grande gravels: Close up:

Wow, that first one is really tasty! It looks almost organic, like something you'd find in a butcher shop. Looking forward to seeing cabs from that stuff - should be gorgeous!

What a wonderful place to go rockhounding. Just run next door. That sure makes life easy with this as a hobby. Keep the pictures coming. Those are I really love the moss agate. The other does look like a brain. Need to see that cabbed. Tanya
