Re: potatoes
Hey Ed, the white nodules are agate and the brown matrix is a desert crust of some sort. When sliced open, this usually what is inside. Soooo, by the lack of opascity and the mohs hardness (7+), I'm assuming these are a type of jasper. http://i1009.photobucket.com/albums/af215/kandorocks/Chert/Justp...

potatoes
I'm curious if any of you Az rockhounders have run across any of these in your hounding travels. I call 'em potatoes because that's what they remind me of.

Re: Rock Heart for Jim Hatt
Hey Ed, I'm a little late on this as I just found my login info. I'm sorry that I didn't get to know Mr. Hatt before he passed. I'm sure he is missed.

Re: some cabs I've done
Thank you!
I've been captured by working with rocks - hook, line, and sinker.
I've picked up rocks all my life but never thought of doing anything with them till a fathers day present 5 years ago of a vibe unit. The first finished batch hooked me........gary
