<\/p>\nWow! Three months collecting rocks on ‘The Carver’ in the fall of 2018 and January 2019 has yielded amazingly varied and beautiful geodes, agates, and jaspers.<\/p>\n
I have selected 108 specimens that I believe show the extraordinary variability of color, banding, and sagenitic inclusions (those neat weird shape things you can see hidden in each rock specimen).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are 5 galleries in this set<\/p>\n
If you have questions or comments about any specimen, I would like to hear from you.<\/p>\n
‘The Carver’ agate field is all about geological diversity.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy viewing these new galleries.<\/p>\n
