Title: Rhodonite trip ruined , the place was infested with jade and jasper
Post by: lithicbeads on August 20, 2014, 09:10:52 PM

 There was not supposed to be any jade in this stream but packlithic and I found about 50 pieces and I did expect good jasper but not this good.

If that was a ruined trip, then dang I'd hate to see what a good trip was!

Seriously awesome looking Jasper there!  :thumbsup: :occasion14:

At least your stream was infested with Jade and Jasper.  I could think of far worse things like sapphires, agates, garnets and gold...

Note the obligatory rock hammer for scale has been replaced with a crutch, maybe it will start a new fad among aging rockhounds.

Yeah and instead of spraying the rock with water we can just drool on it and ask each other , " What did we used to call this stuff? I can't quite remember. " Lots to look forward to in the future.

Sounds like you day was better than my Friday, all of Chino Valley is infested with Pig Weed and grasshoppers. I did see about twenty Pronghorn Antelope which was nice to see, the area was very green from monsoon rains. However I found no rocks of interest except for a house built half of a purplish/brownish sandstone conglomerate, that was interesting.
