Here ya go  Just kidding... That really is a few loads I'm using as a backdrop for photos. But these little guys just came out of my last load, and I am cluesless on where I got them or what they are. The red stripe looks like it's painted on.  And Lastly- Thank you John!! I got that Burro Creek Agate back that you slabbed for me and this was one of the slabs. This think looks so much cooler in person. (I think we all know that by now after trying to do justice to the rock shots we take) But this was as good as I could get it. But you can see into it like its a foggy morning in a marsh. It's just too cool and I'm dying to polish it up.   Thanks! |

Very heavy wow factor there. That CReek agate is really something! It looks like a lot of stinkwater agates I have seen in Stinkwater Oregon. WAy cool.
Let me know if you find out what kind of stones the red stripe specials are. They really look neat. We have fish down here that have those markings. Real cool.

Wow that red striped stuff is gorgeous, that's really bright red. The Burro Creek agate is really neat too, I didn't realize it had so much stuff inside it like that. Can't wait until I can get mine polished. Thanks for the pics Banjo.

Funny thing about the rocks with the red stripe.
I think it was one of the many rocks the neighbor kids gave me and asked me to polish.
I think they said they found it out in the desert.
Oh, but that was so many 60/90's ago.
Finger crossed, no rain, I'm actually going to get up to Burro Creek again.
I have been rained out 3 weeks in a row.
I'll post pics of what I get and keep an eye open for that dendritic agate.
I know there is a lot of it there, but my backpack was full last time I stumbled across it.

Lovely rocks Banjo, I think that the red paint is of the tumbleproof variety.
And those Koi carps look just like the real thing. Good job
thanks for showing
