More carnelian, crazy casting, bubbly botryoidal and banding and one wee crazed opal that glows nicely under UV.

Finally, a post about the chabazite: this fantastic combo of calcite on chabazite features large, clear pseudo-cubic crystals with deceptively smooth faces, nearly all of which actually have incredible etching and patterns, many even visible to the naked eye. This first shot is through a handheld loupe, but @pnw_rocktography has taken some really excellent micro shots which you can see on his feed and on @unearthed.minerals. I just love the look of this stuff, and I'm hoping they went to find more today while I recover from my booster shot yesterday. A few of these shots are of a particular crystal lined void, the intact remains of which produced a chabazite tunnel that is just so sick. #rocks #crystals #rockhounding #oregon #geology #agate #rock #agates #crystal #quartz #mineral #minerals #specimen #pnw #silica #chabazite #calcite #zeolite #zeolites #columbiacounty (at Chabahil) https://www.instagram.com/rrareearthh/p/CYxXjE4vrSN/?utm_medium=tumblr
Yet another dope batch of carnelian and agate from a Columbia County trip with @unearthed.minerals on September 1st of 2020. Lots more from this trip, another post or two at least #rocks #crystals #rockhounding #oregon #geology #agate #rock #agates #crystal #quartz #mineral #minerals #specimen #pnw #silica #carnelian #carnelianagate #columbiacounty #red #orange #gem #gems #gemstone #gemstones (at Carnelian Farm) https://www.instagram.com/rrareearthh/p/CY94nxaPvNa/?utm_medium=tumblr
Whole bunch of carnelian and other neat agate and quartz, from a Columbia County creek run on March 13th, 2020, as usual with @unearthed.minerals. A sweet quartz flower on some bubbly chalcedony, cool banding on a real branchy looking piece, and some other cool biz. There is a bunch of really cool textures and interesting casts in this batch, which I'll post details of next. #rocks #crystals #rockhounding #oregon #geology #agate #rock #agates #crystal #quartz #mineral #minerals #specimen #pnw #silica #carnelian #columbiacounty #rockhound #banding (at Carnelian) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYiUlq0rXpZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
Glowing golden calcite atop water clear chabazite crystals found today on a prospecting trip with my dude @c_rackelman of @unearthed.minerals at a site he honed in on in Columbia County. As we were mostly trying to find access, we didn't bring any equipment but we're pleasantly surprised by a bunch of great fresh float material. We'll be back for sure soon with some buckets at the very least! #rocks #crystals #geology #zeolites #rockhounding #oregon #rock #crystal #calcite #chabazite #quarry #mining #silica #mineral #minerals #microminerals #columbiacounty (at Soft Rock Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRxhlsABAXA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sick shot of Mt. St. Helens my dad @portwes took in Rainier 42 years ago. 2 years later, everything changed when my brother @alekshrek520 was born in West Sussex, England. Oh, and I guess this mountain blew up too?? #geology #volcano #pnw #rainier #oregon #washington #mtsthelens #mountain #mountains #stratovolcano #rock #rocks #pacificnorthwest #longview #bridge #columbiariver #columbiacounty (at Saint Helens, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVnZfVndfs/?igshid=emgh2iyg1rx2
