Visited the world-famous Brecksville Mine yesterday and came out with some goodies. Not bad haul for 71 mile round-trip. Even with about 100# of garbage (not interesting to me) I still came home with over 500# of good stuff. Stay-tuned as I will be listing what I don't want to tumble for sale. Feel free to let me know if you're interested in anything, need better pics, etc...

Banded Iron Balls (Jaspellite) - terrible pic but there is red and silver. Full coffee can full - 9 pounds

Couple shots of Bruneau Jasper, nice and chunky - 13 pounds total including 1 green:

Mixed obsidian including a black cube (About 25 pounds):

Some cool glass (7 pounds total):

Landscape/Picture Jasper (60#):

He told me these are Owyhee. True? (30#):

Any help on these 2?

Chrysocolla? (7#)

More help on these? Very faint beige with maroon coloring (12#)

Tiffany Stone at top, Amazonite to left, I give up on the rest - but the black one is flipping awesome:

Whole and half geodes, thundereggs, whatever (17#)

Jaspellite/Banded Iron (9.5#)

Imperial/Porcelain Jasper? (6#)

The guy swears this is Flint Ridge material - looks like Wonderstone to me. The one on the right is highly silified, the other not so moch but solid (4#)

Crazy Lace Agate (50#)

And here is the real Flint Ridge material - nice banding (37#)

Hope you enjoyed the show!

Those that you think are wonderstone def look like wonderstone. That red jaspalite will bleed on everything!!!

The jaspelite does bleed, but its a nice change of pace from the normal ho-hum, washed-out, pale gray slurry...

Yes,that is "Wonderestone"...The uncut Geodes are nice too,looks like the brown littler one,might be a thunderegg though...
That colored glass is awesome! Ohio Flint is crazy cool too...........
I think most of your Geodes are from Kentucky-the yellow ringed ones are really nice,when polished up..

I'm interested in a small piece of crazy lace - I love it but can't find any at local shops here in Florida. When you get around to selling some please let me know. Also on the wonderstone - purchasesd something that looked like that but was Ohio flint and found a lot similar on knapping sites! I didn't know that flint was that colorful but it is, according to the site I was on and the person I got it from.
