I was mentioning a black agate with red to white plumes inside to somebody? Cant find nothing on the internet-Google, sorry, so I have to show you from a pic in my location book. Looking to see if I can still gain access to the site where they are dug up. High up on the agenda for things to go look for.

That's quite a collection. I've gone through it several times. The hyalite Opal is new to me. Thanks for showing.

Wow! You have awesome rocks up North. I need to mosey on up there sometime in the near future. (I especially need to visit my favorite coffee shop in Vancouver called the "49th Parallel Roasters Cafe ")

I was not aware that Hyalite occurred in other locals, we hound it from Hyalite peak just south of Bozeman .... Way cool. Is That variety luminescent ? Cheers

I never really ever sat down and had a very good look into it until tonight the hyalite. On the clean breaks of thicker pieces, the inside has very tiny bubbles of pink and green colors. "shocked" is that common?

No source ever was located, just like this fluorite chunk that was picked up around the camp. Chances are from Arizona the turq and some tourists pocket that had dropped it? It has a new home now Thanks!
