Augite abstract art I think... This is actually an unedited photo of my bucket of Cedar Butte augite collected by me and new rock buddy Mark of @mineralmandalas. I've been meaning to come here for years, and he hooked it up. Great day, great weather, excellent crystals. We encountered forestry work being done on the main road, so the route was closed. His fancy car GPS suggested a different route which was open, if a little rougher but we got there eventually! If you're planning to go soon (there is tons of material to collect), make sure to take the alternate route. Ask me if you need! #rocks #crystals #crystal #augite #rockhounding #oregon #tillamookcounty #rock #cedarbutte #geology (at Cedar Butte) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bso5cHrAng5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bqcv8y9icyqf
Took my mum down the Nehalem a couple weeks ago, here's us withmy big agate and her petrified bike seat, lol. It really is uncanny the shape and size of that basalt, how exactly like a bike seat it is. Another pic of the big one I found, then a couple she took of me being an idiot. Good day, good finds, great oldies. #rockhounding #oregon #geology #silica #minerals #minerals #quartz #nehalemriver #tillamookcounty #agate #agates #rockhounds #basalt #rock #rocks (at Carnelian Coffee)
Got the chance to take some real photos of my rock backlog (barely made a dent), and did get to rediscover this sick slick chunk of beautiful chalcedony from the Nehalem River about a year ago. Probably snuck into my top 20. #rocks #agate #rockhounding #oregon #geology #silica #minerals #mineral #quartz #cryptocrystalline #texture #agates #chalcedony #rock #banding #rockhound #nehalem #river #tillamookcounty
