Anyone wanting a shot at some NICE Chrisocolla check on rare-earth- treasures listings. Its mostly Quartz based and WILL polish. I put in a token bid to get the ball rolling so please don't be bashful, jump on it.
I would really feel like a cheap old fart if you guys made me take it for a cheezy opening bid.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being an old fart with a new toy , I don't have a clue on the link but run rare_earth _ treasures for a search or give desertdweller a pm for a link.
Sorry about the lack of talent here !

There was still an auction that had no bids - so I (as dgrrl) jumped on that one! Thanks for the heads up - I'd love to have some of this as blue is always a favorite of mine. Now, quick question about it while this thread is up - since it's mostly quartz based, I assume that means it's relatively hard and will polish in a rotary tumbler? It seems that most of my favorites have been hard to work rocks (picture jaspers (soft), pet wood (crumbly and some soft),etc) so I was hoping maybe this one would be a little easier. thanks again for the heads up!

I had a heck of a time finding it the other day took about five times trying before I got it right. It was me though I am not very good on the puter thing lol. George
