It was hot today so I went hounding again. I am finally using up some of my stockpile so feel a little more justified.
This was my first stop. I found mostly tumble-sized pieces of dallasite here. I've got more pics than words.
The whole bucket.
Does anyone know what this is? There are variants of this all over the beach. It looks nice but I don't think it tumbles very well.
On a whim, I checked another part of the beach that was a little more out of the way. It was all boulders and was quite prosperous. I found big pieces of dallasite, flowerstone and rice rock all together. Bad lighting in the pics though.
Here's some tumbled dallasite I've been working on:
And for anyone who missed it, I really want to show off Tommy's amazing cabochon work on dallasite and flowerstone I sent him:
There's a lot of dallasite here, not a lot of good flowerstone but some. I've finally figured out thanks to another thread that there's a lot of amygdaloidal basalt here. Still working on figuring out what the green soft rock is.
I post lots of pictures at my blog www.bcrockhound.com. Thanks for looking.
