Oregon treasures
I have enjoyed all of the shows and wish there were many more. I loved the program about Oregon sunstones especially and hope to bring my family to do that this fall. One treasure I'd like to see Kirsten seek is our fabulous CHANTRELLE MUSHROOMS. They are plentiful in the fall throughout most of the coast mountain range, and they are some of the finest mushrooms in the world. The fall colors would also be spectacular for the program. It would be a pleasure ...

Types of Opal in Oregon
Hey, we have been out and about some this summer, and have found what we think is a type of opal. Up in the Ochoccos and in the Blues (Umatilla National Forest). The Ochocco stuff is mainly white-ish with some slight pink in it, and the stuff we found in the Blues tends to be clearer. The Ochocco stuff is for the most part, very crumbly. I am wondering if you can find stable pieces, can they be made into jewelry? Is it desirable? I know up at Richardsons you can find some of the really blue stuff (my son was there with someone and did not pick some up for me!!!) and also would like some for working with. Here is another question about it all. Can this "common/Oregon" opal be cut, ground down, or carved into? Does it break really easy? Last, does anyone know of one site that gives good descriptions, pictures and data on the types of opal here in Oregon?

Central Oregon Coast Area
Hello my precious dirt nerd family! I am finding myself blessed to be headed to the central oregon coast (Beverly Beach and Lincoln City) two weekends in a row in a week or so.
I am just wondering if anyone would like to share their favorite locality in the area, on or off the beach?
I have some favorite spots for agates near Cape Meares and I have Tim's DVD and Gem Trails of Oregon so I am <i>aware<i> of these localities, personal stories?
I've heard there is pyrite at Otter Rock in clay and we're going to explore the Augite off Hwy 6 on the way in. The hubby is less into fossils than shiny rocks but I love it all! :)
Thanks ahead for sharing guys and gals. :)

gems in oregon & northern california
Hello everyone. This is my first post on this site. Unfortunately I don't have much to offer. I went to the beach at Lincoln City, Oregon, last weekend, to a park called Road's End. I arrived at near high tide, so collecting was poor. I spoke to several locals and was told that since there have been no big storms on the coast this season, the sands are deep and gravel beds are mostly covered. Normally our winter storms sweep the sand and fine gravels out to sea, exposing lots of agates, jaspers, beach glass, petrified wood, and other beautiful stones. I also spoke to a man operating a sluice box at the Road's End Park beach. He was working the mineral sands in search of gold flakes, and claimed to find enough to keep him coming back. Some I suppose might have laughed, but I thought it was great and hope he finds a fortune! My advise is to stop at any beach on the Oregon coast to explore the gravels that wash ashore. Just don't turn your back on the ocean. Sneaker waves have swept away many careless folks here. Have great fun and be safe!

My first trip to Oregon
I am trying to set up a trip for myself and my girlfriends to visit Oregon to dig for sun stones and fire opals. Does anyone know where these mines are and how far away from each other they are. We would like to be able to rent a camper when we get there. Any suggestions of where to rent. What is the best time of year to visit etc. I await a response. Thank you in advance.

Biggs/ Rufus Oregon
"No, most of what we collected was south of Biggs near the old jasper mine. It appears that the ODOT uses the place we went to to dump all the rock and dirt that fall off the cliffs and onto the highway. Took pics today of all our finds including those from the canyon above Rufus and will be posting them when I get the chance.
Dave" I will post some pics of my Oregon collection. I love the Oregon jaspers and agates The Biggs jaspers are one of my favorites.
