Richardsons' Ranch Thunderegg
Unpolished Richardson's Ranch Thunderegg
This is a very neat unpolished Thunderegg, we think from Richardson's Rock Ranch. It is roughly 3 1/2" x 3" and about 2 1/2" thick. It weighs 600 grams, or 1 lb, 5 ozs. It is not polished, but it has had a bit of sanding already. Beautiful, colorful patterns in this one, but please note that in natural lighting, it is not as bright as it looks in the photos. Additionally, it was photographed wet in most of the photos.

Moctezuma Agate
Honey Moctezuma Agate Nodule
This is a beautiful Moctezuma Agate from Mexico. It is a pretty piece when just viewing it naturally, but if you take a closer look (with magnification for me), the details are just gorgeous - finely detailed lines, and a small druse-filled pocket. It is 2 1/8" x 1" at its wider points, and as thick as 15 mm. It weighs 27.6 grams, or 9/10 of an ounce. If interested in the pair, please email us as the other side may still be available as well.

Mexican Agate
Pretty Mexican Agate Nodule - Maybe Agua Nueva?
This is a polished Mexican Agate, essentially a double. We aren't sure where this piece came from other than we know it was collected in Mexico. It has some similarities to some Agua Nueva we've seen, though we aren't sure that's what this is. There is an open pocket on the one side, with a small area of pink fortification, while the other side has more amazing variety in it. It is 2 3/4" x 2 1/8" at its wider points, and 16-28 mm thick.

Coyamito Agate
Coyamito Agate Nodule
This is a polished Coyamito Agate nodule. At first glance, in natural lighting, you notice the purple center surrounded by red agate - a pretty little Coyamito. However, upon close inspection, the beautiful banding, with the delicately detailed lines, expecially in the tip, becomes visible. It is 2" x 1 1/2" and just over 21 mm thick. It has two open pockets as visible in the photos.

Petrified Wood Round
Full Round Petrified Wood Slab, Star Pattern in Center
This is a large, piece of agatized Petrified Wood, polished on both sides. The tree patterns are nicely detailed, including a star pattern in the center, and the tree bark beautifully preserved. I believe it to be a full round, and the bark is visible all the way around. Even that little indentation clearly has bark! Looking very closely at the detail, there are a couple small areas where the bark is a little more smooth than the rest of it, but I don't think it was chipped there, though not sure why so smooth compared to the rest. Also, there is one small area that looks like a break in the bark on one edge, about 1/2" wide and 1/4" thick, but the bark looks to me to still be there on the bottom of that as well (see last photo of slide show). We do not know what species it is, or where it was collected. It is 10 1/2" x 8 1/2" and about 1/2" thick. It weighs 3 lbs, 14 ounces, or 1.78 kgs. The photos do not do it justice - the color much looks richer in person. A gorgeous specimen for display or to add to a collection! This piece may also still be available through our eBay store.)

Chocolate Condor Agate
Rich Chocolate Condor Agate with Orange Splashes
Click image for slide show
[Viewed a little further away] [On white background] [Close-up] [Size comparison] [From an angle] [From the back]This is a polished Condor Agate with a chocolaty-brown face and a couple of bright orange spots on the sides. Please note that it looks a little darker in natural lighting, and you don't notice the fortification as much. But view it under lighting, and its natural beauty becomes apparent. Notice also the crystal pocket in the center - it has a small quartz crystal that extends into the center a little more than the others. Very nice! It's a little over 2" x 1 1/2" at its wider points, and about 30 mm thick. It weighs 83.5 grams, or 2.9 ounces. A beautiful little piece.

Baby Laguna Agate Nodule

[Looking straight on] [Closer, on an angle] [Close-up] [Even closer] [Size comparison (sorry it's blurry!)] [Other side]This is an awesome baby Laguna Agate. It is just small, only about 1 5/8" x 5/8" at its widest points, 13 mm thick. It weighs 12 grams, or 4/10 of an ounce. It sits nicely at an angle facing out. It may be just a small guy, but it's really a little beauty!

Double Thunderegg
Richardson's Ranch Double Thunderegg - Blue Bed We Think
Click image for slide show
[At an Angle] [Size comparison] [Close-up] [Another close-up] [Another close-up] [Closer shot of druse pocket] [Back side]This is a Richardson's Rock Ranch Thunderegg, guessing it is probably from the Blue Beds. An awesome piece - it is at least a double thunderegg, almost looks like a triple! It has beautiful waterlines, a small pocket on one side with tiny blue druse crystals, and even a little moss! It is 4 1/2" x 3-4" and roughly 1 3/4" thick. It weighs 1 lb 10 ozs, or 750 grams. There is a polish on it enough to be able to easily see its beauty, but it looks like an incomplete polish and would be enhanced by a little more finishing. An awesome piece even as-is however!!

Brazilian Agate
Large Brazilian Agate Specimen Slab
This is a beautiful slice of a larger, premium Brazilian Agate. Both sides are nicely polished. The coloring is closest to the picture in the main photo. At first glance you don't notice the subtle colors much, but move it into the light and it is just gorgeous. It is 8" x about 8 1/4" and 1/4", or 6 mm, thick. It weighs 515 grams, or 1.2 ounces. It's a wonderful specimen to add to any collection!

Fossil Shell
Fossilized Abalone Shell
This is a really neat fossilized Abalone Shell. It is rough, uncut, and very nice on its own as a specimen, though it is in imperfect condition, as visible in the 2nd slide show photo. I took pictures of it naturally, not wet at first, but decided to see how much dirt would come off and what it would look like wet. Quite a bit of dirt did come off, though you could probably get more with some work and care. You can now see a little opalessence coming through - kind of bronze-rainbow colors, though not really captured by the photos. It is 5 3/4" x 4" on the inside, and when laying face down stands a little less than 2" thick. It weighs 1 pound 4 ounces, or 610 grams. Potentially, a really neat specimen!

Sagenite Spray
Cady Mountains Sagenite Spray Specimen/Rough
Click image for slide show
[Second side] [Third side] [Close-up of third side] [First side dry] [Third side dry] [Another angle, dry]We are pretty sure is a piece of a rough Sagenite nodule, unpolished, from the Cady Mountains in the Mojave Desert of California. It's just a rough chunk, but a stunning display spray of Sagenite - to me (Rhonda), a gorgeous specimen just as it is, but polishing would bring out the colors more! We're not sure of all the minerals in this stone. It's kind of triangular in shape, and each side has very nice patterns. It weighs 1 lb, 3 ounces, or 545 grams.

Chrysocolla Nodule
Large Chrysocolla Malachite Specimen Nodule
Click image for slide show
[Wider shot] [Outside of nodule] [Another angle, with ruler comparison] [As we found this piece!] [Another outside shot]This is a sensational Chrysocolla mineral ... specimen(?) ... rough(?)!!! I considered it to be a fantastic specimen, but the buyer of this piece could choose to use it as rough (ah! - my heart!) instead. We recently acquired the collection of a gentleman that personally collected all kinds of rough specimens and rock all over California and Oregon between the 1950's and 1980's. Imagine our surprise when we came across this large, unassuming nodule, with a piece of plumber's tape wrapped around it (visible in the photo slide show). We carefully unwrapped it from the tape, separated the two sides to discover the gorgeous display inside. It looks to us to have mostly Chrysocolla, with some Malachite, and a little Cuprite (we think) in it as well. It appears that the nodule was separated along a fracture line, it has not been cut, and the inside is very rough and uneven with the crystals growing along the fracture. With both sides together, it is very roughly 7" x 5" x 6" and weighs 9 lbs (4 kg).
