Some rocks in my collection

Multicolored jasper found south of Wind River Canyon, Wyoming

The vivid colors in this jasper are splendid to behold!

This piece of multicolored jasper is polished by the wind and sand of the desert.

This is banded ironstone found south of Wind River Canyon, Wyoming.  This specimen has a large amount of hematite and iron in it, and it is very heavy.  The wind and sand has polished part of the stone.

Weathered quartz with unusual pattern

Creekbed specimen found in mountains by Ten Sleep, Wyoming which consists mostly of clay and sandstone.

Epidote

Large boulders with epidote on roadside in the Bighorn Mountains west of Buffalo, Wyoming today.

Prime Rib Rocks

I call this a Prime Rib rock!  Just look at the flaming red color marbled with white.

Close up, it looks even more like a good steak!

Similar stone with a darker hue of red.

This is what I call Christmas Stone.  It is more orange in color and has green agate mixed in.  The orange-red color is more of a flint or chert-like stone.

Again, I sharpened the photo and increased contrast to make the image more clarified, but did not alter the color in any way.

Green River Rocks

This beauty I found in Hot Springs County, Wyoming in a creek.

This third image is with the stone wet.  I did not tweak the color in any of these photos; I only sharpened the images to improve their clarity.

As can be seen, these rocks are considerably large and perfectly smooth and orb shaped -- I would love to see them as edging around a garden, a woodland path, etc...

Found in dry creek bed on west side of Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming

Orange lichen growing on this rock give it a flowery appearance

Love the feather-like crystaline pattern on the surface of this stone.
