Here are a few rocks I found yesterday, on a nearby river. Soon, high water will scramble the riverbeds for a month or so.
Pet wood

Some jaspers

I think this is flint, looks to be a re-heal. Having seeing Mel's flint Nodules, due to the look of the skin I decided to whack this. It really sparks when struck against steel.

This one has me baffled. I saw the agate part, looks like orangey orbs inside. I whacked the end off, and that looks cool too. I have no idea what this is, will have to figure out how to proceed.

The scenery now, is still twixt winter and spring. Same area, late last summer.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
