More great little jasp-agate from the Nehalem River, Columbia County, Oregon. May 10th, 2017.
I'm calling this stuff Jupiter Plume, though it's more of a moss agate, or even petrified wood. Looks nothing like I thought it would from the outside. I thought it was a carnelian or jasper nodule I found in the Nehalem River in 2016, and upon cutting was nicely surprised. Biggest rock I've cut so far, and i hope to get some nice little slabs out of it! #rock #rocks #agate #agates #jasper #jaspagate #plumeagate #mossagate #rocksaw #mineral #minerals #quartz #silica #carnelian #nehalemriver #jupiter (at Carnelian Coffee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFwmzQFGvC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5607qm36h33x

I'm sure I've never mentioned how terrible my phone is, so I took this photo of yesterday's finds just to prove it. Here's the classic Molalla River cross section of nice red and yellow jasper, small agates and a single piece of petrified wood. Cheap red wine in a cool glass for scale. #rocks #agates #rockhounding #oregon #geology #silica #minerals #minerals #quartz #cryptocrystalline #red #orange #stones #rock #carnelian #crystals #petrifiedwood #molalla #river #jaspagate #jasper #redjasper (at Rock Hard PDX)
A happy New Year's hounding to you and yours. I think I have a new tradition of going to the Molalla River, cuz it never really disappoints, and the weather has been really nice the last couple years. I brought my mum along today and she did good! #rocks #agates #rockhounding #oregon #geology #silica #minerals #mineral #quartz #rockhound #chalcedony #rock #carnelian #rock #agate #molalla #river #jaspagate #jasper #redjasper (at East Glisan Pizza Lounge)

I know a lot of you like heart shaped rocks, but I've never seen one the size, shape and color of an ACTUAL HUMAN HEART! Here's one I found in the Willamette, though this one has sparkly chambers and agate arteries. #rock #jasper #heartrock #rockhounding #Oregon #crystal #crystals #agates #jaspagate #quartz #silica #minerals #mineral #rocks #chalcedony #heart #spooky #humanheart #sparkles #agate #willamette (at Heartrock Pictures)
Opally agate/jasper from the Nehalem River, Clatsop State Forest, Tillamook County, Oregon. October 10th, 2016.
Some details of the awesome huge moss/jasp agate that @kkatieclarkk found in the John Day river on Monday of last week. Not sure how she spotted it all covered in algae, but it's one of the best finds of the day. Love all the weird structures/inclusions/fractures in this yellow/red piece.
This chunk of red jasper from Wednesday looks like it was impacted by an agate meteorite, never seen this kind of formation in chalcedony before! #rocks #agate #jasper #rockhounding #Oregon #rock #minerals #mineral #chalcedony #silica #quartz #rockhound #geology #molalla #canby #redjasper #jaspagate
