Thanks for the reply guys. I guess the truth is that the only way to find good quality finds is to look here, both for rocks and for people too!

I didn't get any suggestions for Taos, so I guess I'll have to drive to the RHSP, has anyone been there?

hard to tell from the photo.. are the little circles defined with what looks like cell formation( can you see the cells?) almost looks like tube agate in some ways. Can't see the details. If you could post a couple photos from different angles it might help. thanks!

Adrian, while I am a newish member here at RTH, I am fairly obsessed. I log on everyday and sometimes many times a day. I eagerly stare at pictures of cabs, slabs, specimens and fossils. I gobble up information and tips. I laugh at silly posts and wry jokes and subtle pokes. However, in my brief yet informative and entertaining time here on RTH, I have never cried. Your post of memories, reflections and craftsmanship brought tears to my oft dry eyes. Thank you for sharing this, it is by far my favorite post of all. Your friend, Miya

Hi carvers! I know a person interested in purchasing around 500 tons a year of translucent carving rough. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
