1 looks like a Moctezuma Agate while 2 and 4 are Dryhead Agate from Montana. 5 just looks like standard Brazilian Agates...

3 is definitely some kind of Mexican Agate but I'll guess it's a low quality Condor Agate for now.

Shannon has pretty much nailed it. #5 upper left looks like an Indian Blackskin. The first dryhead is from the part of the deposit near the surface. When you dug down through the limestone, first nodules you'd hit were those fractured multifortification lacy thingees with tons of calcite, crystal vugs, tubes and eyes ( there were hundreds on the discard pies when we dug there), then you'd hit like three feet of crap brown limestone you'd have to struggle through, and then a layer of the good nodules with the big fortifications....Mel

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
