Some of the rather nice chabazite we collected in central Oregon recently. Zeolites are steadily becoming a favorite of mine. With 60+ natural different zeolites to collect and coming in a huge number of different habits they are impressive to study and collect to say the least. The more I learn about the zeolite group, the more I think how underrated they are in the rockhounding world. Central Oregon without a doubt has some of the best rockhounding locations. These fossils from Ochoco Pass are both abundant and impressive.

It's here: the 1977 Rock & Lapidary Guidebook issue! This issue does not disappoint with a couple of article hitting very close to home,  including the field trip writing guide that we'd like to give to all rockhounding authors everywhere. We also see a variety of upscale ads, some which seems like great deals and some much less so.
