I got excited when I came across this large, beautiful slab of Morrisonite. I had to open the pic to get the price. I figured it would be out of my range but I didn't think it would be quite that far out of it. 5.5 X 4 in slab for $308! Right after that I came across the Luna Agate slab that they're asking $700 for.

I wonder if they'd discount to an even $1000 for the 2. Some nice jasper in the background of the second pic. There's a nice slab of OJ on this same auction this morning.

Bigfoot is often called Sasquatch, Yeti doesn't seem to care!

Even for polished collector slabs that's "a bit much".

Wow! Those are nice, but not that nice!
And it reminded me
I found a slab of Luna several years ago at the Morro Bay city yard sale.
I think I paid $2 for it. Now I'm trying to rack my brain remembering where I put it 😅

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
