Finds from today, location 1 and 2 along the Willamette River plus my find of the day, a nice yellow jasper brecciated by a quartz dike. Normal sized human hand for scale. Didn't find a whole lot besides the normal agate, jasper and petrified wood today. Not bad though. #rock #rocks #rockhounding #oregon #geology #silica #minerals #minerals #quartz #cryptocrystalline #texture #agates #chalcedony #agate #carnelian #petrifiedwood #Willamette #willametteriver #marioncounty (at Rock N Roll Pizza)
Biggest agate I found yesterday in the Willamette River, pretty weak... At least there are not-underwater rocks finally! I'll go back in a month or so. #rocks #agate #rockhounding #oregon #geology #silica #minerals #minerals #quartz #carnelian #carnelianagate #agates #rockhound #riverrock #willamette (at Carnelian Coffee)
Gimme rocks, dollars and coffee, in that order. Or maybe the other way round. #rocks #agates #rockhounding #oregon #geology #silica #minerals #mineral #quartz #rockhound #chalcedony #rock #carnelian #crystals #carneliancoffee #pdxcoffee #chemex #willamette #river #molalla (at Carnelian Coffee)
Stopped in on a usual Willamette River spot to check water levels (spoiler alert: they're way too high for anything), but I did appropriately enough find this tiny water level agate. #rocks #agate #rockhounding #Oregon #Willamette #river #rock #agates #waterlevel #waterlevelagate #mineral #minerals #found #collection
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)
@kkatieclarkk took me on a quest for carnelian in the Sweet Home area for my birthday today, and we found exactly zero! I did find this nice floater chunk of multicolored chalcedony on the south Santiam River, which everyone before us must have missed. Still a good trip, more to come. #rocks #agates #rockhounding #Oregon #geology #silica #minerals #mineral #quartz #water #river #chalcedony #santiam #linncounty #willamette (at Willamette National Forest)
This carnelian is so bright neon orange that it looks hilarious and fake and I'm obsessed with it. Willamette River muck in Keizer yesterday. #agate #carnelian #rocks #quartz #rockhounding #oregon #agates #mineral #minerals #Willamette #river #rock #rockhound #collection #collecting #orange #red #chalcedony #silica #neon

Discovery footage. I really didn't know how cool this iceberg would end up being until I pulled it out live on camera. #rocks #agate #rockhounding #Oregon #carnelian #chalcedony #silica #quartz #mineral #minerals #rock #rockhound #petrifiedwood #fossil #wood #Willamette #river #water #Willametteriver #keizer #agates

...and then I found THIS. #rocks #agate #chalcedony #silica #carnelian #quartz #rock #minerals #mineral #agates #Willamette #river #water
Found a couple hours in which to hound the Willamette today, and this wonderfully smooth, well replaced petrified wood chip is my best find so far. #rocks #rockhounding #Oregon #petrifiedwood #Willamette #river #water #silica #quartz #mineral #minerals

This is the last post that uses these terrible photos! They get better for the next 40 or so posts, then they will be MUCH better. Thanks for not unfollowing me to this point.
