Thanks Ed for the heads up on this thread. Loved lookin and drooling at em

Niki, those are some amazing pieces you have there!! S J C is a bit far for me to go but would love to have been there

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...

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.

Thank you!
