I don't know what this one is- but I do know that it came from Tommy. Any ideas? Still needs polished, thanks for looking.   |

I'm guessing Stoney Creek... The key word in that would be "guessing"! LOL I like the shape you chose on that one my friend!  |

I was told "Franciscan Melange" is the proper name for this material. It's basically a catch-all for all those jaspers from the Franciscan Formation that have a non-specific pattern in contrast with those that have a specific type of pattern ie. poppies,breccia, magnesite pseudomorphs etc. Melange examples occur almost anywhere the brecciated forms occur. Super common in the area around Creston, Parkfield, Big Sandy Creek, Stony Creek etc. Creston material often has a blue tint to the hematite which is pretty neat.
