We just picked up these two pieces at a rock sale from a guy who'd been "hauling them around" for forty years. We helped him price some of the collection that he and his dad had accumulated. They lived in Oregon at that time.

I think this reminds me of something realrockhound has posted in the past few months. I'm hoping someone can put a name on it... .

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful colorful material. Hope they polish nicely.

I remembered realrockhound present some plume agate slabs/cabs. The pictures shown above reminded me of some California Brecciated Jasper.

I’ll actually be cutting a cab of it soon.

Thank you, sir! Tag us when you post a picture of your cab.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Pretty awesome rock!!

Thanks, realrockhound, for the ID. I'll be looking forward to seeing a cab from your rough.

We spent a few hours helping these folks figure out prices, so we got to buy a couple of things ahead of the actual sale.

I'm not 100% positive thats what it is, it just reminds me of the stuff i'm going to pull out to cab if memory serves me correct. But i'll post the cab and tag when I get it done

kjk: Hey Ya'll, Just signed up to the formum. About 5 years into tumbling, have 1 - 3# & 1 - 15# rotatary and 1 TV-5. Been using voltage regulators to control speeds which has improved end results. Nov 6, 2024 21:46:04 GMT -5

kjk: My first try on Fluorite was about 5 years ago. Pre-shaped rough with dremel then used a 3 # rotary start to finish 90-220-500-TXP polish,all with ceramic fill. Nov 6, 2024 22:06:16 GMT -5

kjk: Second attempt with fluorite, 3# rotary for stages 1 thru 3 with 90-220-700 all with ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1000 and ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1200 and corn cob. Looks Gem quality and ready for final polish. Nov 6, 2024 22:11:20 GMT -5

kjk: looking for suggestions on final polish for Fluorite. Been sitting on these gems for a while because I don't want to bust them up like my first try. Have been leaning towards TV-5 with #61 Rapid Polish, ceramic, 1/2 cup water, TV-5 approx 60v (1/2 speed) Nov 6, 2024 22:21:39 GMT -5

RickB: Cheaper by the dozen? Nov 10, 2024 7:07:13 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

amygdule: I like my sandwich made by a talented artist that deserves a Tip...Thank You Nov 11, 2024 7:12:10 GMT -5 *

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
