Very cool rocks. That last one looks sort of like Stone Canyon to me but I'm not for sure.

Diane: I would guess Stone Canyon too. But have only had the more common yellow. I have seen a post of Red Stone Canyon. Woody

Yippee-I-Aaaaaa.....Cow-Patti! That's what happens when I see some killer rocks...i get a bit crazy! What a bunch of awesome cutting rough. Should see plenty of unique cabs from all that material. I can't wait to see the Willow Creek sliced. Those Mosses are unreal as well. Good Trading! steve

Nice rocks, the Maury Mt is almost the variety that has Amethyst instead of clear or white quartz. I believe what you're calling Willow Creek is actually Imperial Jasper.

I love the Maury Mountain.
One question, do I need to get my glasses, or does there look to be small spray-like structures just above the clear strip across the center of the piece?
Great gathering stock!

Your eyes are still good, there does appear to be saginite in this chunk.

Those are the worst pile of junk rocks I have ever seen... I hope you didn't pay too much for them !!!!! Better send me that crud and next time get better rocks.. I'll dispose of that stuff so you don't have to look at it and be reminded of the lousy rock you traded good stuff for !!! J/K nice score!! should make some really great slabs/cabs and stuff!!
