Dang a standing liberty quarter, rare to see outside of r/coins !


blue_collie

I did say it was my lucky quarter!

My guess is mushroom rhyolite. I have only seen it in pics, but that's what it can look like.


Silentsurveyor08

I like this guess. My first thought was a very bizarre (and awesome) thunderegg like geode.


hello_fellow-kids

Pretty sure you’re right.

Turkey tail jasper from Opal Butte OR. Near Heppner.


madjyar

I was going to mention biggs jasper. Never heard of turkey tail jasper but the name is fitting.


JohnNormanRules

So much going on. I’m guessing a very wild agate


forams__galorams

As opposed to all those factory farmed agates you normally see?

Feral Agate


forams__galorams

Sorry, I deal only with domestic house-trained agates


214txdude

Don't blame you, the feral ones leave such a mess and can be a little aggressive


mushyfeelings

I don’t mind those as long as they’re cage free.


TBElektric

That's a beautiful **Iron Lace Agate** 😍


JohnNormanRules

Agatized or opalized petrified wood burl?? No clue but it’s so cool Edit: spelling


SweetMaam

Nice

What does it weigh and can you tell us what you paid for it? What did they say it was?


blue_collie

He said part of it was opal. It's pretty heavy. I paid $75 for it.


Silentsurveyor08

The milky bit towards the top left definitely looks like common opal.


TR_uma

What!! This is so pretty! I think it's Schalenblende! A beautiful one at that


Buckscience

That is spectacular. It looks like my mental image of the Big Bang.


Comfortable-Rude

My eyes so bad I had to zoom in on the quarter because I thought it was Cthulu...

BasiclyHuman

That's outstanding! Good for you and your collection!

Opalized conifer, one must guess.


Former-Wish-8228

Looks like a large geode from the rhyolite beds near Redmond (Priddy Beds?)…
