Mr. Zentner, you ought to see if you can ever get on the property where Holly Blue is found near Sweet Home Oregon. The logging company has cut off the area to the public. One person to start with is my brother to get some info. He took me there once to dig Holly Blue before the area was shut down. Interesting area.

Cabochons have axis orientation for the cut especially opals and fire agate and many other stones, as for labradorite feldspar including moonstones orientation for best cut and cab is necessary for the visual effect you wish to achieve on cabbing the stone for its beauty.

Fossilized speciums requires both Federal and Provincial permits. 1 to 2 years.Also sending Nick another book .This one by Dale Leckie, The Scenic Geology Of Alberta. His latest book (June 2021 ) was recommended to us and is featured in our Fly Fishing site! Many of our River's in Alberta cut through some awesome places.

Since Elly's contain zircons can you use zircon magnetics as to find out generally where this came from, and since zircons are aligned and have poles could that alter the flow of liquid sort of like a ferrofluid
@larrygrimaldi14003 жыл бұрын
I don't understand the time sequence between when the volcanic eruption happens originally, and when the hot material that eventually forms into agates happens--- does it make no difference? Can it be millions of years, or is this a function of the later cooling process?
