Hard Assets

Hungry? This cookie would break a few teeth...

I recently made a trip to an undisclosed rockhounding locality with my big brother R.J.

Dang that beats sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours. I filled a 5 gallon bucket with little chunks of "grape" Agate. Based on my initial research I probably gathered a days wages in stones like the one pictured here. I took the picture with my camera phone, so I apologize for the fuzzy image. We found a few geodes and other crystals, but most of what I picked up was red or yellow Agate.

Thanks R.J.! I owe you. And Thanks Joey for keeping R.J. in line and helping me fill my bucket.
