From images collected over 20 years of exploring, cutting, and polishing stones from The Carver Agate Field, I have selected a few (1356) photos of some of the best rock specimens to share with you.

Visit The Carver Two Decade Photo Gallery to view this extensive collection of rock specimens, and be sure to click on each image so you can enlarge it and enjoy all of the details.

All of these materials are from The Carver Agate Field. These extensive galleries are primarily intended for serious rock enthusiasts and geologists. I have designed this gallery to allow enlargement and enhanced viewing of the crystal/mineral structures and sagenitic materials that make the ‘Carver’ a unique geological formation worthy of serious scrutiny. My late friend and mentor, Midland geologist and rock enthusiast, Bill Halepeska, made the following observation about The Carver Agate Field over 15 years ago:

“The Carver Agate Field is the most diverse, colorful, and unique agate find in Far West Texas since the early 1960’s.”

Bill’s valued opinion encouraged and guided me to continue my 20 year project to explore and publish the beautiful and interesting material from The Carver Agate Field of Far West Texas. I hope that these photo galleries covering 20 years of effort will be enjoyable to at least a few of you. I welcome any questions or thoughts you may have about The Carver. I also want to thank those of you who have supported me in my work and this website over these many years.
