This was a really fun competition, Rockhobbit. I learned a lot about agates in the meantime.  |

That's a hoot. Thanks. I'll post some pictures when they show up, Nicer to be a surprise package that way  So do you know lots about Tajikistan? I had envisioned a pretty arid area, so the lots of rivers part kept me away from that region. I'll have to look at the Satellite images some more. I'd like to think it was all the hours helping the kids with Carmen Sandiego, but in the end, A map of earthquake activity & war activity allowed me to ask google the right questions, and led me to the page that seemed to describe most clues about the agates in sandstone. Amazing how hard it is to 'ask the proper question' sometimes! So, should Tajikistan really be on everyone's bucket list? Anyway, thanks for the game. I'd encourage everyone to check out the geoguesser site, it's really interesting to find out that different parts of the planet look similar in ways, and some have characteristics that let you pin point locations immediately. btw, Jasper is the 'town' just a few miles away - Good name for a pet (mine was a goose as a kid Cheers, Rick |

(Suggestions from other posts) 1 Jasper?  2 -Dendritic Jasper  3  4 -Leopard skin jasper (rhyolite) / Ocean jasper  5 Kaleidoscope Jasper  6 Rhyolite  7 Lepidolite Mica  8 Rose Quartz  9 Mexican Crazy Lace  <p> |

Those are mighty fine slabs! No. 7 looks like lepidolite mica and No. 8 is rose quartz. I think I know a couple of the others but
I'm sure others will chime in soon with definite ID's.
