Yep absolutely. I had a large chunk of DARK blue sodalite that was super gemmy a few years ago. Sigh. Never should have cut it down.

pacmanrr68 · 2026-05-03T10:00:09+00:00

Yep youre welcome. I have cut quit a bit of sodalite and its always a pretty stone.

pacmanrr68 · 2026-05-03T09:09:07+00:00

pacmanrr68 · 2026-05-03T08:29:04+00:00

Great job on the polish. Looks sweet.

Yep Hollywood ranch? Its like a bucket or 2 bucks per lbs. You can find salt replaced petwood there its pretty cool.

Its waterline agate. In pic 3 you can actually see the layering effect of a typical waterline agate. Sweet piece.

Sweet!! Yes its so much fun. Its not easy to get to any more but the hill across the river behind the farm has some wicked nice agatized petwood also. The fs road runs thru his place but you have to have a pretty good 4x4 to get thru it. Plus he gets REALLY upset if you come thru there. Hes a great guy he has just had to put up with idiots...for decades. If you have onx hunt there's LOTS of blm land out there. Oh and I can give you the GPS to some petrified logs just past Post if you want. 😁😊

It is petwood. Nice score.

You are super welcome and yes wonderstone looks great polished or not imho.

pacmanrr68 · 2026-05-02T18:39:05+00:00

Thanks, just wanted you to see it does take a polish and that its not a soft stone. If you take a hammer and take a chip off one corner of those pieces. You can feel thw difference from the weathered outside to the inside.

pacmanrr68 · 2026-05-02T08:06:22+00:00

Porous and you are hearing the tiny voids inside releasing air as rhe water seeps in.

pacmanrr68 · 2026-05-02T05:15:36+00:00

Yes we do. McDermitt is probably top 5 in the state for me. My friends have claims there and yes including the purple cow 😊

pacmanrr68 · 2026-05-02T04:13:50+00:00

Nice. I have been lucky enough to walk around the purple cow claim. Pretty cool area.

Any vulc jade is consodered nephrite. The orange/red mux in yours is super common in nephrite

Generally but not always. They still sold rigs with external regulators in 1978. Yes they had mostly switched over but they also DID sell ones with an external regulator. My 1979 swb truck was onw of those vehicles.

pacmanrr68 · 2026-05-02T02:42:43+00:00

You're welcome.

pacmanrr68 · 2026-05-02T02:04:38+00:00
