AdventureChris Rockhounding in Northern California

08/08/2026

Chapman's Gem and Mineral shop in Fortuna, CA. I saw this big unmarked Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper in the museum area. What a beautiful chunk!! They had literal tons of raw stone here for sale!

This one has a beautiful floral pattern that I haven't seen until now! The only way I can get out and find these right now is to frequently take dips in the water. I am just glad I was able to get out there for a couple hours before the triple digit heat got here!

This yellow really pops at sunset!

This is an interesting piece.. seems to be a mix of Chalcedony and Jasper. I will definitely need to polish or cut this one.

I've started collecting these higher quality breccia with mostly white Chalcedony because I want to make a front yard rock garden with just them.

The sunset Lighting at the end really brings out this beautiful red on this Jasper-Agate!

Just a little Orbicular action on this Jasper.. Even these ones with just orbs on the end are great and will make several cabochons.

Check out this Brecciated Jasper! It looks like it exploded before the Chalcedony filled in between!

Finally made it out for a few hours to do some rockhounding and get some much needed exercise!
