Had a guy stop at the shop yesterday asking if I bought rocks or Turquoise, so I said "Sometimes" and mentioned I was pretty picky about what I did buy. Turns out almost all of these were backed and ready to set. Just glancing through it quickly, I spotted Morenci, Dry Creek/Godber/Burnham, Pilot Mountain and plenty of Kingman and Sleeping beauty. A few Chinese cabs and some Greenish stuff from Nevada. One piece looks to be Orville Jack. No Bisbee though :-(

Probably the best buy I have ever came across!!!!!!!
One of the primo pieces will be on my finger and the rest set in sterling for sale in the shop.

Kind of ashamed to say what I paid for it. There are 126 cabs in that box and probably close to half are from mines that closed in the mid to late 60's and some of the Greens in there are to die for!
Can anyone spot the "White Buffalo Turquoise"? :-)

He came back with more today! Not as nice as the batch above, but half the cost. 126 cabs for $125 can't be beat!!!!!! Didn't get any pics yet of the second batch. Had a few really nice Lapis cabs and some nice Variscite
