Harney Lake (OR Site 70 – GR)

by Jerry on August 17, 2009

Directions: Garret’s site directions are spot on. Google Map

Date: August 2009

Notes: There is plentiful tumbling material scattered about, some already wave polished. Colors tend to be rather drab and for us most of the material is rather uninteresting. We found a couple of pieces of petrified wood, but nothing special. The oolitic agate from up the hill is different. We picked up a couple of 3 – 5 lb hunks for cutting. It makes an interesting specimen, but it’s rather porous and monochromatic when cut, like a tan-colored birdseye. Not gem quality.
