Rocks

Petrified log buried in the tidal zone.

I’ve been curious about this little one for years. Any guesses? Found while taking a break from fishing on a Whidbey island beach. Semi translucent and definitely more turquoise colored than other rocks I’ve found.

Looks like nephrite jade. It is commonly found up on Whidbey Island.

I can’t remember where I found this one. Both sides.

And this one I found around Warm Springs. I was going to have it cut in half, but the guy that I was going to have cut it, told me that there was a very good chance that it would be the same throughout. Calcium deposit maybe.

I found this nice sized piece of jasper on the upper Clackamas.

Lots of cool stuff in this thread. Time to take a break…. And get some ROCKfish and chips

Awesome meal. Proportions are so you still fit in your waders after.

Strangely round rock, pretty sure just naturally so.


I picked this up for my buddy who refused to get a mobile phone. He has one now and has leapt into the 2000’s.

I need a cellrock like that one too Matt…..I’ve never owned one and never will!

Could you speak up? It’s hard for the sound to get through rock. Don’t take this for granite.

Over planning the future with Mom. Mom keeps these agates, from trips through the John Day area when we were little and others, on the family room table. Somewhere there are a couple buckets. I bet they get moved.
