If (when) we go to Hauser; you will at a minimum find nodules... here is a sample of what we came up with in about an hour about a year ago (and having pretty much no-idea what we where doing).
I have a few more i have not cut open, and a couple of larger ones we collected 4-5 years ago...
This one was almost a geode:
i cannot WAIT! but how did you cut them open? i always end up smashing them to pieces with a hammer...
I think most of the ones in the picture where found as-is... I just cleaned them up. I cut open a couple with a tile saw; but they have to be pretty small to use it (the ones above are golf-ball sized). @rt395 said you just need to join a local rockhound group as they will have a larger rock saw and other tools...
ive seen those things. super cool. i was ecstatic with my finds at the gem faire today in del mar, so i cant even imagine how exciting itll be to find anything on my own.
Ooo... make a post abut your finds... I want to see them!
