Nice find, Frank. That stuff is fun to knap. Brian Melton sent me some of the white a few years ago, it sure was easy.

I spalled  some out this morning,It looks awfull pretty with all the cortex off. I reckon when I get enough of this out of the seam,I will be putting out a trade call.Going fishing tomorrow and back to the seam on sunday. I will take my tankers bar and a pick. Anyone out there into natural pigments ? This stuff is in a yellow ocher than is really nice. I have some red ocher that came from a pocket a little ways from the opal.   Gotta get this done before the county guys get wise and put up a sign or something. >:(

Hey Sparrow, if you collect any I'd like to get some of that yellow and red ochre.  Got a few things I want to try.

At the diotamacious earth pits up on the hill east of vantage. In the tons, and ton of opal most of which was junk, you could find a very nice seam of agate. The seam in the earth would go from opal to agate (if you were lucky) to diatamacious earth (love that fluffy white crap) It was a little more difficult to find , but when I did I collected about a ton of the stuff, they buried where I was collecting....what a bummer!! The new pit futher west doesn't have jack!!!
