I have 8 # of not too large light blue Amazonite pieces. Decent light blue color. A few pieces have Schiller which is a play of light effect which looks like a silvery shimmer. However, the material is very pitty or fractured, and there will be waste. Seems like you would go through quite a lot of it to get one or two decent cabs. But I don't work with epoxy, pore fillers, doublets, right now so maybe someone else can use this stuff. I definitely don't want to oversell it though because, for me, it's annoying to work with because of the pits and fractures. It also needs to be cleaned, although I have sold clean pieces for mineral collections in the past. Take a look at the photos and then decide. Price $20 which includes priority mail medium flat rate shipping to United States addresses. Paypal only. The post office is making most of the money but it's worth it to me to clear some space and get this where it can be used. I will also consider swaps. Please, nothing big. No rough. I need room right now. I'd rather swap for tumbles, slabs or slabettes, a couple cabs...something on the small side. Suggest something! OK, here are the photos. Dry: It looks more green in the wet photo. Don't ask me why. Different light balance maybe? Source may be Colorado but I dunno for sure as it was estate material. Any questions? Just let me know. Thanks for looking.

Unfortunately I have more Labradorite than I could work in five lifetimes! Maybe a finished cab would be OK, since it would save me work! :-)

Lol, I know the feeling, but were trying If your serious about the Cabs, we could do a few, no problems. The only stuff left on the site is, well... pretty slim pickens, all the stuff no one wants and will be in the baragin bin when we update, so we would certainly do a couple nice new ones if you like. On a similar note, if you want to sell your Labradorite were always buying Carleton

Sure I'll take a couple of cabs. I work so slowly so it's always nice to get something finished.... However, you would need to have a U.S. shipping address? Shipping 8 lbs to Canada is too cost prohibitive from my location...
I probably will end up selling more of this Labradorite but it may be awhile before I get it sorted. I will let you know...

WOW! International flat rate box to Canada is $32.95. It just isn't in my budget for a swap box, sorry. I thought it was bad when after 9-11 and the anthrax guy when prices got so ridiculous I was forced to go to to a "no international shipping" policy. It sure hasn't gotten any better in the last decade. Just not going to work for cheap swap items. pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals/dmm300/Notice123.pdf
