Chad!!! OMG!!! That piece of OJ cannot possibly be as big as a WHOLE MILK CRATE?! Like... 18" x 18" ish??? And the yellow! I don't think I've ever seen yellow in OJ before, not canary yellow like that! Holy cow...
And what is that big druzy rock on the bottom? Is that a giant thunderegg?
WOW!!!

Was a 45lb OJ boulder. Kinda lackluster once I got it cut. One of those cases where the outside raised hopes but the inside kinda blah. You all might be seeing some of it turn up in my boxes The big nodule is a septarian. There's a couple 50 pounders out here where the saw was. Figured we would take a peek inside since we had the big saw running. Turned out to be a killer one so thought I'd share.

Other half of septarian nodule. Lost a tennis ball size piece of the crystals unfortunately, when the first half fell off it shifted the weight in the vise and cracked some of the shell off. Attachments:
