Wyoming Stones and Possibly Jade From Our Trip



Hubby and I recently took a couple days from Denver to Wyoming on a gemstone hunt. I found a website of a geologist who spent 30 years finding gemstones in Colorado and Wyoming. We drove to places he said we should find something. We came back with a car full of "rocks", but not being a Geologist, we're "stumped" as to what we brought back.


Here are a few photos if anyone knows geology, maybe you can enlighten us.


Our trunk when we got home.

A mystery.

The only one we know. Milky Quartz. I have lots of these. But this is the largest!

What's inside this rock?

Someone said this is what the earth is made of.
Looks like a cave!

An assortment of mystery rocks.

A lovely little green stone...

Neat!

Does anyone think this is Jade?
We were in Jade territory.

It sparkles!

I'd love to see some comments.

Take Care on the Journey,
