Beautiful Broken Agates & Jaspers

There is nothing quite like walking along a recently graded and compacted road if you want to find broken rocks. These recently found pieces will be added to my to-be-polished rock pile, for when I own a rock tumbler. 
 Some rocks I wet to show color better.
 
 

 I did not know this country had so much in the way of pink rocks, but we found no shortage of them lately.

Tektites
