Over the past few months, I was lucky to collect some rocks in southern Poland & on a roadtrip out west to Oregon.
The sites in Poland are heavily utilized, hard to locate & take a lot of work, fortune, or both to find anything of good quality. Especially the famous Płoczki area.
Płoczki:
1st piece, my favorite find from this site, pictyre of rough surface, then middle cut. Pretty sure it was intentionally left behind as I found it on the surface. It was pretty 'rotten/decomposing' as a display piece overall, but plenty of lapidary potential.
2nd Płoczki rock:
Then Polish ribbon agates:
& other sites in Poland:
1st one looked like a good agate outside, but ended up being surprised by the nice green/brown chert.
More:
Next up is Eastern Oregon stuff:
Final picture was a little surprise back home in Kentucky, from out in the western edge of KY geode zone. Far from the typical Kentucky agate area. Picked up a typical looking chunk of oolite/fossil conglomerate & was happy to find this little 1/2 inch agatized bit. It reminded me of the look of botswana agate & never seen anything similar in KY before.
