My Big Find

[roc2rol]

Hi Guys!
I’m really stoked about this
I found this fairly massive rock months ago



I wasn’t sure if it was good stuff or not
I just got conformation from a major rock hound
that it is indeed goood rock
it called brecciated agate

This person will slab this rock
and I suspect that what’s inside will make are eyes pop out!
This rock hound finds plenty of this rock in Arizona
and he does a fantastic job of cutting it


This is a picture he took of it to today
which shows much of its potential

stayed tuned for future pixs
& keep your eyes wide open

thanks
Ed

Very cool - nice big find and it looks like it's going to have lots of great color when it's cut and polished!

Ed someday you need to come hike a few places with us. There are rocks like that and even more colorful,some green some orange and even blue. I will post a few of my finds next week. Is that from a breeca pipe?

Breccia pipe? Wow! Never heard of that Curt.
Take a picture of such a formation & post!
That really interests me.

My rock ame from the area of Pinnacle Peak Rd and 25th Ave.
I don’t think the rock is native to the area.
I found it in bulldozer excavation dump.
The rock appears to have concrete on the outside of it
but my pal tells me its natural
So must be limestone or caliche

someday I’d like to do some rock hounding
spirit is willing -- bones are fossilized

My rock hound pal
gave me the O.K.
to posts some of his local finds
and the slabs he cut


Here what the agate look like on the outside


and cut


ya might have to enlarge the photo for the detail

he’s found hundreds

Enjoy

Thanks for looking

another beautiful piece of artwork. Say roc - do you think if I can ever find the "right" rock, would you be willing to make a heart pendant for my wife? I'd love to surprise her with something like that - I'll be happy to pay you for the work! I just need to find the right piece of rock
