Agates and Rocks Magnified

Yesterday was the first day I have missed a blog update for weeks. Sorry about that. I woke up early and jumped right into preparation for a meeting with my webmaster to discuss the online rockhounding adventures. But I am back at it -- although not as early as I usually am this morning.

For today's posting I decided to post more of the pictures from my late night USB camera session the other night.

This is a piece of sedimentary chert with a quartz crystal cave.
