I pick up an old collection a few day ago

https://www.prospectingaustralia.com.au/forum/img/member-images/5745/1469011052_20120118_090148.jpg

There is

snow flake obsidian

tiger eye

about a 5 kg ( sorry I don't work in pounds 2.2 pounds equals a kg) of quartz crystals smokey & clear
a couple of topaz ( I think)

a couple of kgs of dendritic opalite

chrysoprase a few small slabs but nice translucent apple green.

a fair bit of ribbonstone

petrified wood

few kgs of jasper all colours including some mookaite

small slab of bloodstone

about 20 kgs of local agates
Turquoise very thin veins on the host stone

looks to be some rhodonite

a old coffee jar half full of potch, a couple of better bits in there. a couple of pieces of andamooka matrix. opal
as you can see a lot is very rust stained, but I'm having fun cleaning them as I go.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
