I'm going to close the other threads and let them drop. I have these 2 items still here that I am willing to sell cheap or to swap. Please U.S. addresses only as I ship all of these in Medium Flat Rate Priority Mail Boxes with tracking using Paypal's postage service. Paypal payments only. If you want to swap, be aware that this is a "I need room" project, so I would look to get small items in return. No need for you to spend the same on postage as I do. Tumbles, cabs, slabs, crystals, what have you...feel free to suggest something as long as it's fairly small. Thanks. :-)
Box A: 8# "blue" Amazonite = SOLD!
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. 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.
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.
Box B: 15 pounds tumbling grade Smoky Quartz --$23
all items you will get, shown damp--

Thanks for looking. I have other materials but these happen to be already boxed up and ready to hit the road. Feel free to suggest other materials.
