Just thought I'd throw a few more odd rocks on the pile to puzzle over.
this is the opposite side of the one above and sister to the red white and black breccia jamesp has

I really like #1 and #3. Number 3 would have to be my fave out of these and then número uno

Well done. I am w/Jimi, #3. #2 may be a sleeper though.

Poor pic of #2, it is really bright in color, with a red matrix sealing all the broken pieces together. I have not done it justice here, it is my favorite of all. The colors are closer to those in #3. I found them in the same place on the same day. I think they must have been part of the same rock at some time in history. If the sun is out and the temps in double digits tomorrow "maybe" I can get an outdoors photo (stupid camera locks up in the cold- grrrrr).

this one was probably an agate at one time.  this one seems to have feldspar  this one is a worn ancient mess, has white/clear and greyish green infilling between broken pieces and in some places covering it.  completely infilled and covered with white/clear   colorful opposite side of #3 above  |

Enjoyed your pics, snowmom. Really like the last ones and the colors in #3's opposite side. |

We may need to get a saw for you somehow. I know we all want to see these cut!!
#1 reminds me... I was so focused on the breccia that I left with Wayne, I completely forgot to tell you that the green one you sent with the label ?Serpentine. Wayne did a hardness test and thinks it might be jadeite. It was too hard for serpentine. I left it with him to test further.

That would be so exciting it sets my head spinning to think about it! ( picture me bouncing up and down with excitement, I AM) I had hopes of maybe finding nephrite, but jadeite... woo hooo. |
