Rockhounding Adventures of the 4th Kind: Digging Halite at Searles Lake

Yes, this is that rich a color when it's in your hand! I've been a rockhound since I could walk, but my adult "career" began 30 years ago. It's been a long, strange trip. However, over the decades of digging, collecting and working with rocks & ston…

Pete Modreski commented on Axel Emmermann's photo 'Alienscape'

Aha, mysterious Axel gave us a hint (via the Rockhounds listserv). OK, so then, he says moss agate is a good guess but not it... so I am thinking, this is one of the crystal growth in gels that he has been experimenting with! And his "double the CO2…
