I had a few minutes the other day so I cut a couple of the Dobell Ranch pieces and a nodule that I don't recall where it came from. It was with a pile of rocks from the Yermo/Calico area north east of Barstow CA but I can't guarantee that. Dobell Ranch material:   They're both kinda dirty as I just pulled them out of the cat litter (oil absorber). The other nodule.  Thanks for checking out the thread. Paul |

Nice colors that 2nd photo is that fracture healed? I like that one! Nope, I found that piece to be, unfortunately, very well fractured. The end cut came apart in my hands. Not sure how this is going to polish out. I'll end up putting this one on the vibe lap. |

Beautiful stuff, Paul! I love the colors in the DoBell material!
It's almost all fractured in some fashion, but beautiful just the same. I did learn that the material closer to the surface will be more fractured than the deeper stuff. Some of it due to earth movement and some due to traffic from their tractors.

Good to see you, sir! That was an awesome trip you took through AZ. Thanks for checking out the thread. That makes total sense about the fracturing. I'd love to go back one day, with some tools for a change. LOL Paul |
