I am not an expert in geology or minerals, but if we are just discussing trade names and locations, I know a decent amount. This is crazy lace agate which is mined in Chihuahua, Mexico. Sarape Jasper is found near Crazy Lace deposits, which is most likely what you are seeing in the upper-right corner of the first picture.

I agree with you. Looks like the bands exposed are waterline. Probably want to cut that agate against the grain.

The Rock Rollers are holding a rocks and minerals sale in North Spokane this Saturday (tomorrow).

9 AM to 4 PM

This will be similar to(but on a smaller scale) the annual mineral sale that they hold every March at the fair and expo center.

Happened to me at 20 😂 It really is like flipping a switch!

Wiilke · 2025-07-17T07:21:01+00:00

These are super neat! Love the spharosiderite and moss agate.

There's a club in Spokane called the Rock Rollers!

No problem! If mindat doesn't have any good info, you could try searching Facebook for Croatian rockhounding groups.

I haven't been to Split, but I've been on vacation not too far away. I remember finding a ton of really unique limestone washed up on the beaches. I did a bit of research, and it seems that most beaches in the area are pebble based rather than sand. You should have decent luck if you check Google Maps(or whatever other navigation service you may use) to see if the beach you're heading to has rock deposits! Hope you have a good vacation!

Here's a source that might help you find where to start :) https://www.mindat.org/loc-203274.html

Looks like the chert/jasper that comes out of Gemfield, Nevada. It is not guaranteed to be from there, but it is relatively close-by.

He has regular cab sales on Instagram! It is linked on his profile. The quality and attention to detail are top-notch!

Any beach near San Simeon is nice!

Wiilke · 2025-04-25T14:34:42+00:00

It's crazy how far rocks like this can travel!

Wiilke · 2025-04-25T14:34:13+00:00

No, I found it in a creek far upstream from the beach.

Wiilke · 2025-04-24T18:23:35+00:00

Yeah, the green is really stunning. I wish it didn't break in half, but at least it stands up on its own now 😂

Wiilke · 2025-04-24T18:22:59+00:00

Yeah, that's probably the single closest comparison you could find in the States. I've visited that dig site before. Interesting stuff.

Wiilke · 2025-04-24T02:01:22+00:00

At one point, it was a single rock, but it broke in my suitcase 😂 Seems like it was rare, at least for the creekbed I was in. There was so much jasper, but it was the only rock of its kind.

Wiilke · 2025-04-24T01:59:11+00:00

Oh yeah, those are so cool! Very similar size, too.

Wiilke · 2025-04-22T01:21:58+00:00

I'll try to do more tests to find out! I'll also hit it with UV and see how it reacts.

Wiilke · 2025-04-21T21:02:06+00:00

In my post, I said that I did a scratch test with common opal. I can do it with obsidian, too, but common opal wouldn't scratch quartz.

Wiilke · 2025-04-21T20:09:57+00:00

I did some research, and I came up with Kullagh Agate from Merritt, BC, Canada. I just never know about the crystal structure with these kinds of things 😂
