I’m continuing my adventures in Quartzite today by showing what I found. Some rocks I just admired, while others I brought back to cut. Not much chit-chat in this blog, just fine pictures. The first series of pictures are things we saw:
Why did not I think of this? Throw a few random pebbles in some dirt, add a digging stick, and you don’t have to waste time going out in the desert picking rocks. Great for the city kids, I guess.
Pink Opalite
Even those Moroccans have a sense of humor.
Bonnie was looking at all this Turquoise and dyed Magnesite.
Tables of pretty malachite, some contained azurite.
A big ultra rare Wingate Pass Agate. $1200 and worth it. I make jewelry and seldom collect specimens, but I was real tempted by this beauty!
This series of pictures is some of what I now own.
Bumblebee (Not Jasper) cab. this one was ripe with silica and looks like the end of the world.
More Gembone
Dinosaur Bone–The red stuff; Just look at those Cell Agates. WOW factor for sure.
Mostly Royal Imperial Jasper
Remember Bonnie dumpster diving in a previous blog. Here’s one of the pieces of Pink Amethyst Lace Agate she was digging for, and a pendant made from similar material. Purple and pink, Bonnie will dig for that!
Random slabs from someones scrap bin (if you can believe it). That’s what’s so fun about these shows.
Red Crazy Lace
Colorful Condor Agates
Pink transparent Gem dino Bone. Yeah, I spent the bucks on this, but I have a jewelry project in mind for this one.
