Hello, I'm into rockhounding. I'm part of a gem club and they go on field trips out to places to collect locally sourced gem-quality petrified wood and agate. Sometimes I strike it out on my own in an attempt to find new previously unknown sources of material. Unfortunately due to Covid, I'm not able to attend the field trips nor am I able to travel to some of the more far-out dig sites, but I still have access to some pretty cool rocks I'd like to share with you all. edit: vvvv yeah? Sweet, here's some of my latest finds. I can make more of an effort post later but please enjoy these in the meantime a big white agate I pulled out of a stream in the Cascades, looks like if I cut it open it might have a cavity full of crystals    here's an agate still in its host rock that I collected a few miles up the forest road from the streambed agate  these are agates from the same location, except they had naturally weathered out of the host rock  This one was naturally cracked open to reveal an amazing banding pattern + crystal cavity  This is a load of petrified wood from Central Washington State that's currently on its fine-grit stage of polishing in my 12lb Thumbler tumbler
