freeztar Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Can you see them now. :) Yep! Is that really the natural form of the rock? It looks so close to a conch shell shape already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 That's its natural shape, it is so perfect that I thought it might be an agatized fossil shell, but it does not seem likely since this type of Agate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia forms within vesicles, or voids in vocanic rock. Just as in Montana moss agate. The geometric cuts, are mine however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaduntr Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I have a poem on the back of my business card, as did my father before me. Some of you may find it interesting.... I think that there shall never be, An ignoramous just like me...Who roams the hills throughout the day to pick up rocks that do not pay. For theres one thing that I've been told, I take the rocks and leave the gold.Over deserts wild and mountains blue, I pick up rocks of varied hue. A hundred pounds or more I pack, with blistered feet and aching back.And when this all is said and done, I cannot name a single one. I pick up rocks where ever I go, The reason why, I do not know.For rocks are found by fools like me, where God intended us to be.

Turtle Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 While screening rock from my garden soil (a Missoula Flood deposit), I ran across this Cordiform Jasper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
