The Fallon wonder stone can have very tight patterns and a variety of color and is very hard some can push a 7 moh. It is some of the best and hardest wonderstone

I can finally put a face to the Nevada Moss.  Very different colorations, all from the same deposit?

From the same area, multiple digs all within sight. I am going back there on the 15th and see what else can be found

The light blues with the orangish moss is a nice color combination

Nice ! All great pieces. The wonder stone reminds me of the Wave in Coyote Buttes in Arizona.  http://www.thewave.info/
