Ok...images are a bit scattered here, too lazy to fix it, but 1st pic is Mary ellen, 2nd pic is jaspelite from the id section..again my pics NEVER do justice to the actual rocks!! But you get the idea pretty good sized piece of mary ellen...lots of hematite in this bugger!! too big for the WF, so just took a small chunk off to show you I think this is some sort of jasper, but unsure Then a huge chunk of what has marble looking patterns all over it. white and sort of a grayish blue color...again too big for the WF, but got a small chunk to show you guys whole rock There! Finally they are cut! happy now Toad? LOL Anyways, these are pretty good sized rocks, so may not get them slabbed with what I have, but I wanted to show you what they looked like...so here ya go!! Thanks for lookin! Marie

It will be, if I ever find a way to cut it up in to slabs! LOL Not sure I can spend money on a bigger saw at this time, but some of these rocks are just huge. That Mary Ellen is as big as the 3 lb butter tub! The marble (?) lookin one is even bigger than that. The WF went almost all the way through the jaspelite, not quite, so had to take a screw driver and tap it the rest of the way loose. It's some gorgeous stuff though, can't wait to actually get some stuff to tumble off that one!
