Here's the flat of Lead Pipe Springs I picked up a couple weeks ago followed by a single Round Mountain nodule from Arizona. I got the flat for 6 pieces for $5. The Round Mountain I special requested from the dealer as I didn't have a sample in my collection. (This one actually is my daughter's. I have two others that I haven't been able to capture well on film...ah well, gotta keep trying.) Lead Pipe Springs is a closed locality now part of a military base. I hope you enjoy, Lowell and the pink Round Mountain - damn - it's hard capturing light pink on film...

The pics are great. Beautiful stuff. Are you going to try cabbing any of it? And the pink is gorgeous. Jim

Jim and Cathy, I don't plan on cabbing any of these pieces. Last year at an estate sale I picked up a bucket of whole and broken nodules, and I might use some of those ultimately to cab. But I'm not a huge cabber to begin with. I'm sawless and that's kind of a hindrance. Here's some pictures of the haul from last year: Thanks for looking, Lowell

Whew Lowell, those are some nice ones all right. That blue does pop against the red matrix....Mel
