MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD!!! Dino Bone, Agate Nodules(Mexico), Condor Agate (Argentina), Utah Stuff....! The whole load. The pile on the left is tumbler fodder. Lets focus on the Condors First! Perfect Autumn Colors. UNREAL!!! Dino Bone....mmmmmmm! I will polish this one for a speciman Utah Unknown. Green River area Utah Variquoise...seam not nodules like Variscite Of course...Some Agate Nodules The Grand Finale..... ;D Steve Donnie...I just modified my post. I don't want anyone thinking that this was all Utah Stuff. Although I agree with you, Utah has some outstanding material!

Wow! Beautiful stuff! I have been shopping around on ebay for something different & came across a couple of guys from Utah & I am going bananas over some of the rocks from Utah. I did not realize what a treasure trove Utah was!

Great batch of material. The unknown Utah Piece #7 looks an awful lot like some coprolite I've cut that came from the same area. Same shade of red, and shapes of the markings.

That's what I wanted to say too about the seventh one. I had been looking at some & some of the pieces look just like that.

Steve, they are all awesome. Great slabbing will lead to great cabbing, can't wait to see them. Favorites, I don't think anyone could choose a favorite from those they are all wonderful.

Gosh, I just hate it when I drool all over myself first thing in the morning!
Isn't it incredible what nature hides inside a plain ole looking rock?
They are all beautiful, but that Grand Finale is amazing.

Hey,Steve. Nice looking . Just a curious question. You said your secondary water is shut off. What do yall folks in the deep freeze do for primary water in the dead of winter? All we do down here is wrap afew exposed pipes wnen it gets below freezing.Try to learn something new every day.
