Title: Green River trip
Post by: Sandsave on October 22, 2017, 05:29:16 PM
Made a trip to Green River, Utah for four days last week. I have my saws down for yearly maintenance so I thought I should go get more rocks to cut!
Picked up some nice sphere and cab material , travertine , Onyz, Jasper , Pet wood / yellow, red, black and blue, coprolite.
Even took some pictures of the area! Pic heavy!

Looks like great material, and a good location! Love the petroglyphs.

What is the material in your first post, with the round patterns?

It is Onyx, I found several large pieces with tubes running through them, I thought they would make great spheres.

Ditto on the petroglyphs; those are always a bonus on these outdoor treks.

OOH-tah sure has some beautiful stones to collect.

Looks like a great trip and a load of good material to work.  I still haven't posted the trip through Green River yet, been busy but things just opened up.  I love collecting that area, so diverse and prolific hunting to be had.  I cut one of the Yellow Reds yesterday and it came out great.  I really like the Yellow wood, I have only found one piece in my time there but it was a full round so that made up for it.  Awesome trip you had!
