Re: Finally made it to the Turlock Show
Nice scores again this year, 8's. I LOVE the grape chalcedony, so that's my favorite, but you did very well for yourself. Thanks for sharing them, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else you snagged!

Nice finds! The blue sphere looks like the blue calcite from Madagascar and Argentina. The piece above the shattukite looks like aragonite?

Thanks Pink and R2d, I knew you would know what things are . I bought the purple from the same man as the amy crystal last year.

David bought this, 2-3 in, wide
Asian coral? I put both pics up to show the difference a white background makes.

Re: Finally made it to the Turlock Show
Wow, 8's, that coral is spectacular, and if you got a receipt maybe the seller's contact info is on it and you can send a pic and ask what that first one is. That red is spectacular, and reminds me of a lava flow running down a volcano. Too cool!

Re: Finally made it to the Turlock Show
Cannot be certain, but I've seen similar bright red streaks in coprolite agate. Interesting inclusions in the quartz - looks like a bit of rainbow in there, and one looks like a little fish at the top edge. The background certainly played some tricks with your camera's sensor

Thanks OS, The chalcedony is a sweet one If it was the vendor who put it together, he did a great job.
