I had posted about my OJ slabs that I won't cut. But, going thru my bins I found more. Some of that I will cut. I probably won't cut my wingate, either. I have a lot of rhodochrosite. A lot of that I won't cut. Next to OJ, it's my fav. |

AzRockGeek . What is your Bluebird rock? I like it, too. It is an azurite, chrysocolla and other copper minerals from the Bluebird mine in Globe AZ. I believe it was mined out in the 70's. It is very difficult to find large rough of this, slabs are available. |

Chapenite I'm not sure why I have this in my do not cut stash other than the fact I believe this material is not longer able to be collected and it's really cool  |

Fun topic!👍 I posted some sequoia wood in the Saturday Petrified Wood thread last week that I won’t cut until I’m a much better cabber. Some of it I won’t ever cut and will keep as specimens.

That is kind of how my stash started. I'm not confident in my cabbing skills and put some stuff aside.
Now it's kind of stuff I know I'll probably never get again.
