Ludwigia Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 These are not creatures. They are stones, probably quartz pebbles. 3 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I must agree with Roger. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

patelinho7 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Isn’t Safford known for Arizona fire agates? The “eye”-looking one looks like a nice fire agate, or at least quartz with some agatizations. Couple of the others also look like they might have agatization 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patelinho7 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 You’ve got a great bunch of agates!! Still a great find even if not a fossil. I’m a sucker for nice agates, could I see the pink one in the circle? 2 hours ago, juanito said: What is the reason so many have similar structure Gas bubbles sometimes form pockets within rocks like Basalt that form from cooling magma. The pockets will then be slowly filled with liquid silica which will layer in the pockets along with other minerals like iron. The AZ fire agates form from reddish iron deposits layering in with the silica. This hardens and gives the multicolored banding and bubbling appearance of agates such as yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sjfriend Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 As @patelinho7 said, agates from gas bubbles. I have quite a few from near Phoenix. Sometimes they are hollow (geodes). Love them and you have quite the selection. Would love to hunt that spot Been that way a few times but never found any of those. love going down there for my photography. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
