Jerry W. Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Here are several more rocks I cut open today and was pleased at the results. The first three were collected at various locations between Utah and Arizona. 1. The first photo I would call a landscape agate with (use your imagination here) a scene on an alien planet during a crazy lightning storm. On the right side there was an indention in the surface, however, it was filled with perfectly clear agate like a window. 2. The second photo is known as St. John's (Arizona) Flower Agate. 3. The third photo shows some lovely botryoidal and plume agate. 4. The final submission is a Mexican Coconut Thunderegg that really surprised me when I opened it up. There appears to be (use your imagination here, again) the head of a dinosaur coming out of the mist to nibble on a tree. Do you see it? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry W. Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 I stand corrected. My daughter said the "dinosaur" is actually Toothless the dragon from the animated movie "How To Train Your Dragon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadrosauridae Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I guess my imagination is still sleeping, because I cant see any shapes. They are beautiful mineral specimens though.
