Welcome to our photo gallery. Items here are not for sale.
In loving memory of Harry Haywood, who's love for beautiful things inspired all to view the world with embracing perspective. Enjoy. Monkeys take the pictures, in case you were wondering why the photography sucks.
Here's my father with friends left and right. Glenn Archer, and Kelsey Archer from Australian Outback Mining. Quartzite, AZ gem and mineral show 2009.
One of my favorite agates. Queensland given to me by my father.
My favorite agate (for the time being.) Huge Queenland with rare coloration and pattern.
Perfect example of Condor Agate. Striking colors originating in the center, with sudden color changes.
Neat Coyamito (not 100% sure of that. There are a gazillion verieties of mexican agate) Feel free to e-mail if you have inside information on the specific origin of this piece.
This agate came from a gentleman's barrel of Brazillian agate. The only thing is, it doen't look to me like a brazilian agate, it looks like some of the condor agates that I have seen. Loui said that it was condor, and someone else said that it was Piranna. I think it is from Argentina. Very striking. This one will be offered for sale to pay for a trip to argentina for condor agates. $900.00 But I wouldn't mind keeping it to polish. SOLD!
My favorite piece of Royal Imperial Jasper! My father cut this one when I was a kid. It has always been my favorite one, and representative of the possibilities in the fancy jasper family to me. I would like to find who my father sold the other half to.
Really neat "Crazy" looking Royal Imperial Jasper from my father's collection.
Neat Condor agate purchased in the rough from Louis De Los Santos, owner of St. Paul Minerals. Bought in Quartzite, AZ 2009. This Year he had really great rough!!!
Top grade specimen Condor. Purchased at the Madras, Oregon gem show July 2008.
One of my favorite pieces of Royal Imperial Jasper. Verry Gemmy!!! The picture was taken by a chimp for two bananas.
Cool piece of Royal Imperial Jasper. (The same chimp took this one.)
Queensland Agate purchased in the rough during the 2009 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, at Electric Park.
Condor agate, purchased in the rough, from St. Paul Minerals 2009.
Text book Condor, purchased cut and polished from St. Paul Minerals, 2009.
Queensland Agate purchased in the rough in Deming, New Mexico at the rockhound roundup, 2008. This one was naturally fractured in half, all I did was polish the face. (Had to round it.) Sometimes the best Queensland agates are thoes that are already broken in half, and you can see the pattern before you buy!
Awesome Condor!!! Again, from the rough of St Paul Minerals. Madras, OR 2009. Recognise the backround? A big thanks to Louis De Los Santos! He was a good friend of my father's.
