Which Burro Creek? The one in western AZ or the one actually over the border in New Mexico that you have to access via AZ?
New Mexico - It's not new, and it's not Mexico!

Agates, jaspers, opalites, way too much to list, and I'm not good with all those names. I just know pretty rocks. There's a club in Arizona that comes over every year for a 2 week campout and then goes to different collecting sites every day. I've been wanting to join them for years, but....

That first breccia is something else! I'm sure it is amazing in person if you can look into the agate!

Well, I guess I'm slipping. I've been trying to find the flyer online about the camping trip to Burro Creek (NM), but I failed.... I do remember Luna Blue agate comes from that area tho (I think)

Emerald green indicates uranium. Pretty common in agates.
