Neat Bob..

I had a bit of some nice Dryhead a while back, but I think I like the druzy at least as much as I did the dryhead.

Bob, did you get your Dryhead slabbed up yet, and any luck with some druzy parts that might be available?

Hey George .........Not yet. I still haven't made it into Helena to pick up the saw oil. Some times its a little frustrating living out in the boonies. I did find a chunk of bluish gray agate with amethyst drusy sheets running through last week while wandering the hills.. Of course its in line for the saw too. I am hoping to get to town soon so I can start sawing again..... Embarrassed Bob

George.... Somehow this rock looks familiar. The druse does not show up all that well in the photo but everywhere there is rose-violet coloring is fine quartz/amethyst  crystals.............Bob

Ya, not like what I was thinking.

I will have to go and find a pic of how the druzy looked on a piece of rough that I had.

I will hunt it down.
