| Some sites are listed in the National Directory Town/region: Cascades and the coast. Deer Creek, Oso is the premier site. Here Another Deer Creek is noted. Of the tributaries of the Skagit River jade can be found on Grandy, Presintine and Finney Creeks. Generally the creeks north of Darrington are noted as is the Saulk River. Besides Deer Creek Oso, generally the Cultus Mountains and Lake Cavanaugh areas are noted, including most notably, Pilchuck and Bear Creeks, and the NF of the Stillaguamish River. It can be found in the Wenachee Valley and in the River and the East Wenachee, and in the creeks Peshastin, Tronson and in Ingalls Creek around Blewett Pass, as well as the NF of the Teanaway river. A certain Eagle Creek (in Snohomish County I believe) is rumored to have jadeite. Jade can be found in the NF of the Nooksack River, and a source creek....(EDIT).....also noted (vaguely) Sedro-wolly and the Marble Mount area. The coastal jades are found on Whidby Island, notablly around the Keystone Ferry Terminal, Oak Harbor and Ebey Landing. Also on the beaches of the Olympic Pennisula around Clallam Bay, Cape Johnson and Queets. Also on the beaches south of Port Townsend and around Anacordus.

I guess this is directed toward Bill. What is your understanding of why certain minerals adopt the botryoidal habit? That is, do we know what conditions must be present for the crystals to form in that manner?

I just can't stand that everyone went out this weekend and I stayed at home taking pictures of my not jade rocks so I'm off to Finney and Deer creek to hunt for the elussive white jade. I wish I had stuck with agates, (the gateway stone) at least I'd know what I had!
