Pisgah Crater for lava, agate, Newberry Nodules

Nodules proved difficult to find, and it wasn't until the sun was setting and we'd travelled high up the steep wild hillsides that nodules began to appear in abundance. Jeff and I both found bubbly white chalcedony swirled with reddish brown, similar to the amazing veins containing fire agate 150 miles south in Blythe. We visually scoured the hillside looking for a source, but 2 weathered pieces were all that was found.
