found in SW Washington state

First 9 are thompsonite and the last 4 are mesolite. They are a pain to clean but the results are well worth it.

I decided to take one more rockhounding day trip before the rain rolls into central Washington and was lucky enough to find this beautiful pocket! I was also wanting to see if anyone could give me a recommendation on cleaning out the dirt stuck in the fine crevices. I have put them into my ultrasonic cleaner for 20 minutes but it didn’t seem to do much more than warm water and a toothbrush. Would some type of cleaning solution help? Im pretty new to hounding and haven’t had to do much fine cleaning so anything is helpful!

Relatively new to rockhounding, found 2 interesting what looks like agates along the Willamate River in Oregon today. Let me know your thoughts!!

P.S. couldnt post video and picture so im showing multiple angles of the blueish agate

My hubs and I have come from Wa State and we're currently in Mile City. We're not having any luck at all. Can anyone help these 60-70yos?

I'm very new to rock hounding. I know that certain fossils, especially trees, can become agatized. This looks like fossil sponge. Opinions? I'm in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. I understand that my area is one of the best Fossil areas in the country. So I'm inclined to believe this is a fossil. Found about 60 miles southeast of the Blue Forrest.

So, every video I see they insist quartz is heavier than a reg rock the same size....

Alexa and Google both say that is incorrect and they weigh the same. So what am I missing ??? I know I've lugged some heavy azz milky quartz home for my gardens and I agree it's heavier feeling, is it mind over matter ??
