Beautiful cabs, liveoak Patti! Gotta love the Amazonite, but that Jimite is pretty dang awesome, too.

That's crazy cool backlit, Randy! You should make a nightlight or something out of that one.

Peta, nice job on the cabs! The MCL is awesome. Did you buy your CabKing from Kinglsey North? If so, I'd call their customer service and tell them about your experience with that wheel and how the new wheel works just fine. Suggest that they replace it for you free of charge. If it's a defective wheel (and it sounds like it is), you shouldn't have to eat the cost of it. You did pay for it when you bought the machine.

to show the reality. It's kind of like taking pictures of some women right after they wake up... LOL If you took a picture of me right after I woke up, your reality would be cut very very short.... I can't let you subject innocent people to such torture. Mel you slay me!

Henry do you take everything home and bring it back every day? Shows are exhausting. We only did a couple a year, but our club show is a 3 day show. Luckily it is in an event center that has security at night, so we would only take home the loose opal trays every night. Everything else just got left on our tables and covered with sheets. Setting up and tearing down is the worst part of it all in my book. Sorry the slabs weren't selling. It's interesting how what sells well changes from year to year and show to show.

I received mine as well. Haven't really had a chance to do anything with it yet.

liveoak Patty beautiful job on the cabs of Jimite. I have one question, though. How in the world, with all the equipment you have, do you not own an ultrasonic?

Doesn't look like Needles Blue to me. It's too dark and there's more of a green hue to it. Some type of copper related stone. Maybe vegasjames might be able to help. This does look like a "gem silica", also known as "silicated chrysosolla", which is actually a chalcedony stained by copper salts.
I think this is Needle's blue, which is a gem silica. The material varies a lot in color from a lighter blue, to darker blue or greenish blue.
Interesting. I have never seen darker or more green Needles Blue. I'm also not seeing the rhyolite that normally is what Needles Blue forms in. Of course, we don't know exactly where this material was found, so calling it Needles Blue if it didn't come from Needles, CA would be a little misleading. I think I would just call it gem silica. It's beautiful either way.

Welcome from Northern Arizona! 25,000 lbs is a lot of rock. Your best bet would be to start a thread(s) in the Rock Identification Help board with the ones you need help with.
