Ratagain Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Hello everyone, thanks for taking a look at this for me, found north of las Vegas, I have been to a couple of rock shows but no luck, any thoughts? The first two pics are what it looks like from being in a tumbler, the others are overall pics. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 The third, fourth and fifth photos look like common opal. No clue on the first two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you take it to the show for indentification purposes? If so, it shouldn't be hard to indentify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratagain Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hello Morlock, we took it to a show for that reason and to buy some rocks of course, I have even taken it to the Rice Museum here in Oregon and they don't know either, looking into taking it to Reno next week to the college to see if they can ID it, thanks for taking a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I think it's common opal. Let us know what the experts say. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardtimehermit Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think it might be called opalite. Where in Nevada does it come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
