Glad I found this channel. What groovy rocks. I love the Lahontan Jasper🤩
thank you! i learned of it a few years ago and have been searching for it since :)
👍👍👍👍👍very good
thank you!
Your last agate is a really nice waterline agate. The different band colors were laid down over time as silicified water came in and crystallized over and over until the void in the agate was completely filled in. The different layers had different minerals in the silica water resulting in different colors and inclusions. One of my favorite agate types. ❤
Oh cool, thanks for the info! I’ve heard the term “waterline” agate, but couldn’t confidently identify. This must have occurred when the area was Lake Lahontan! It’s a personal favorite, I’ve only found 2, this is the other:

GBP, that one is really cool as well!! The 1st layer OR the bottom layer, depending on how it filled as the original cavity in the volcanic host rock filled, 😄 looks to me to be common opal! Obviously I haven't seen everything you've posted, but that doesn't seem to be something I recall seeing a lot of. I also want to emphasize that I am nowhere near an expert on any of the stuff I've shared with you. The stromatoporoids, coral fossils and now waterline agates are things I'm relatively sure of through reading, watching other rockhound videos and doing lots of googling. So don't bet the farm on what I THINK please. Talk to a geologist or paleontologist to vet my, uh, extrapolations. I think that's a fair word.😄😂🤣 I love your channel and am always excited when I see a notification pop up. Keep up the great content and beautiful stones!
Understood! I appreciate the input, I always want to know as much as possible about the rocks! I dove into rhyolite a bit, once I figured out that’s what a lot of the material I like ended up being, but other than that, and fairly obvious specimens of fossils, pet wood, quartz, etc, I’m not an expert and always like learning. Appreciate the comments and glad you’re enjoying the rocks, there’s lots more to cut!
