The Hauser beds aren't that far from home, but a few weeks ago was our first trip out there. Here's a handful of our findings:

(photos are fresh cut and wet)

If any of the experts here could tell me anything about the red, orange, and yellow in this last little guy, I would love to know more.

did a little digging and came up with this, the article mentions that there is colorful banded agate throughout many pieces, so that would be the color in the last geode, as to the chemicals that create those specific colors. ?

I've read about the history and discovery of the beds before, but I enjoyed reading about the author's expedition. Thanks for the link.

Best we can figure, we were at the Cinnamon Beds, specifically.

Hey that first one is a beauty! I found a little broken piece of one of those candy striped ones in a ravine below the beds one trip. I like the one with the jasper too. Sometimes those eggs have orby jasper that looks just like Bruneau. Seems like 90% of the Hausers I've cut look like that third example of yours.....Mel
