Looks like nephrite jade. It is commonly found up on Whidbey Island.

I can’t remember where I found this one. Both sides.

And this one I found around Warm Springs. I was going to have it cut in half, but the guy that I was going to have cut it, told me that there was a very good chance that it would be the same throughout. Calcium deposit maybe.

I found this nice sized piece of jasper on the upper Clackamas.

I need a cellrock like that one too Matt…..I’ve never owned one and never will!
Could you speak up? It’s hard for the sound to get through rock. Don’t take this for granite.
Over planning the future with Mom. Mom keeps these agates, from trips through the John Day area when we were little and others, on the family room table. Somewhere there are a couple buckets. I bet they get moved.

Lake Stevens Erratic
I was fortunate enough to spend a week on the east arm of Great Slave Lake. Canadian Shield, glacial erratics, and incredibly diverse geological formations.
We live in a world of wonders!
Granite study
@Stonedfish there's a big erratic in Green Lake itself, near Duck Island. As you're paddling around you can see it, the water around it is maybe 10 feet deep, and then suddenly it's about 2 feet under the surface. It's maybe the size of a minivan, can't really tell when its murky. You can't see it from the shore. It's not really surprising that its there considering how the lake formed, and there's probably more, there may be a small one for instance just near Northwest tennis courts, but on the other hand it's pretty surprising when you look down and see it in the water. Now these guys for sure aren't really worth a trip to see, it's just fun to come across big rocks that don't really belong....

I might also mention that these water slides are located in serious grizzly country.
Not worried about 'hotspotting' because it's a significant effort to access.
Hair snares for DNA analysis on game trails indicate at least 50-60 grizzlies frequent the Selkirk Bear Recovery area...been there many times and have never come across one, nor do I know anybody else who has had an encounter......which sort of illustrates how much grizz studiously avoids human contact.

Great thread!
A miniscule portion of the chaotic 45 million acre, two to three miles thick, "German Chocolate Cake" basaltic lava flows.
It is above a sweet little E WA stream.
