Hey all,
I missed a local ad for a nearby estate sale this weekend and they sold a grinder and flatlap for only $275.
However, I was able to pick up some older slabs but I don't know what they are. If any of you do, would you please help me identify them?
All pics are numbered for reference and wet, with a double pic for those that are transluscent and a light shined through. Some of them may be the same type of rock, I just don't know.
Many thanks in advance for any help!!
01: translucent - dry surface sparkle
02: translucent - green, yello, white
03: translucent - dark green
04: opaque - dark green (glare on lower right- ignore)
05: translucent - gold yellow
06: opaque
07: slightly translucent - with feathered areas of clear (no picture); *Mahogany Obsidian maybe but I've never seen it partially translucent
(glare on lower right-ignore)
08: translucent - red specks
09: translucent
10: opaque - Picture Jasper maybe??
11: translucent
12: translucent
13: opaque
14: translucent
15: opaque - *Mahogany Obsidian again perhaps
16: translucent - slightly
17: opaque - I would have guessed Mahogany Obsidian again, but this one is speckled??
18: transluscent
19: transluscent - light grayish, with dedrites maybe??
20: opaque
21: transluscent
22: transluscent - I think this one looks like a pork chop, and somebody was planning on a cab.
23: translucent
24: translucent
25: translucent
26: translucent - this one is super thin, so I'll probably just put it on the mantel with a light behind it to display the beauty!
Thanks for your help everyone!
