The best way to explore and enjoy the rocks of The Carver Agate Field of Far West Texas is to view this new photo gallery of nearly 1000 cut and polished cabs from The Carver exclusively found and cut by me.
The cutting, polishing, and magnification of photos of these cabs is the most effective way to see the geological wonder of this single West Texas volcanic formation which was described by my late friend, mentor, geologist, and self-described rock enthusiast, Bill Halepeska, of Midland, Texas, who observed that The Carver Agate Field is “the most diverse, colorful, and unique agate find in Far West Texas since the early 1960’s”.

Always a good read and viewing Dad. Rock 3347 looks almost like a jellyfish. Rocks 5312 has crazy dimension. Even when looking at it straight on you can see the depth of specimen. Cool capture and presentation! Thanks as always for sharing!!
#763 What is it? It caused me to pause and wonder as it does not look like the others.
This is a botryoidal agate, I believe, derived from Greek relating to a grape like appearance. I have found many different colors including pink, gray, blue, yellow. This one formed inside a geode With most of the geode’s rind broken away. I have other photos of botryoidal agates which I can make available if you request. Thanks for following my rocking activities. Stay in touch, stay well.
