Hi Greg,
Nice images. Those cuts really show some beautiful character. One would be a
great conversation piece on my office desk!
On my trip to Nevada recently I stopped off at the Alamo area to try and
find some impact breccias but I didn't know where to look. I asked around
and an old timer had no idea. At a gas station I saw some literature about
tours to the area but I couldn't find it on my own. I also checked Google
and could only find information about the region but not exact locations of
the impact breccias. Would you care to share the map location?
Thanks,
Abe Guenther

this is some of the most beautiful material out there! I sent Marlin Cilz a
large block of the Alamo Impact Breccia to make a few cuts and polish them
up. No words can describe these so here are a few images:
