I decided to go prospecting in the woods today. I have found numerous blue/white Chalcedony specimens on this same mountain. I finally discovered the massive deposits. This is a section that I was able to retrieve. It broke off of it's source which was 4 times larger than this. I'm going back to get the rest of it! The main section appears to be about 200 lbs. I had to place this bad boy on my shoulder and hoof it 1/4 mile down the mountain. Ugh!

Roughly 40-50 lbs.

More photos after the clean-up! I did not clean it with bleach. I used it for a size comparison. :laughing9:

Not done yet, needs time to dry and then I can clean it again. :thumbsup:
