Saw something familiar in Gaetz' zebra rock pix from Deer Hunt '05. I have picked up a few of these from rockbeds around here. They were among lots of dark brown river rock/agate and khaki colored rocks I believe are chert.

I didn't have a quarter for scale, but the one on the right is about 2 inches wide. It has a date with a saw at some point. The one on the left has been through several weeks of course -- it has smoothed out, with one small nick and is awaiting a barrel of 220.

These are the othersides, wet.

I think they're kind of cool and keep my eye out for them. Hope to get one all the way to polish soon.

It's not low self esteem -- there are rocks down there.

I can't think of a better name for it. If something else, it is certainly well agatized. At any rate, post it up polished!

Reminds somewhat of that piece I'm doing for Bill/Icetres. Colors are certainly the same, banding is a little tighter but still very similar.

PS ... I knew Bill had found a link for this, just had to find it. Check this out, looks exactly the same. Banded Chert

said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm
just not close enough to get the job done.

Looks awesome polished up. Good luck Tex and keep us posted. gaetz

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
