Title: Todays haul.
Post by: Majuba Tom on February 15, 2014, 08:17:58 pm: I went rock collecting today until the high winds ran me off.

1st pic is a mix of the Agates and Jaspers.

2nd pic is what I think is Carnelian Agate.

3rd pic is a mix of Agates.

4th pic is some Jasper.

Enjoy!

The tan stuff looks real nice when heat treated. Here is a pic of a preform that I might turn in to a Gunther point. I just want to make a few practice preforms first before I destroy this one.

The tan / light brown usually does not turn red. However I am heat treating the Jasper today. If everything goes well I will see what it looks like by tomorrow.
