If there are no takers on these, I will post them for sale elsewhere. I wanted to give you all a chance at them first since I have sold many of these boxes over the years on here. I'm sorry I had to raise the prices because of shipping, but they are still a good deal and an even better deal if you buy more than one because I do cut the prices for multiple boxes.
These slabs and slabettes are not junk. They are slabs I sell at shows for decent money, but I'm faced with having to move and don't have any shows scheduled until fall. Some are former slabs that got broken during or after the shows, so I figured someone who doesn't have a slab saw might like the smaller pieces to make cabs.
I don't make much money off the boxes considering how much time it takes to make up the boxes, take photos, post them for sale, then box them up and take them to the post office to ship. If you have bought a box from me in the past, you know I pack them full, and it's sorta like trying to herd cats to get them to fit into the small boxes. I understand that money is tight and am in the same boat, so just send me a message if it's a money issue. I am trying to reduce inventory but can't afford to give stuff away either.
Thank you for listening to my "rant".

Hi Diane, I've gone back and forth on these several times trying to decide. There are some really great slabs in all the lots. I'll take Box #1. Thanks for all the info in your write-up. :-)

I’m curious to know who picked up box #2. That one was calling to me as well. Hope to see some cabs posted in the future with some of these materials! 🤓

Still no takers on the mystery box? What, doesn't anyone like good mysteries? Here's a few more photos from the box. A lot of these pieces could be glued to a board and cut at least one, if not more, slabs from them. I just don't have the time or inclination to do it. Most of the material goes for more than $5 per pound, and at $75, I'm offering it to you at around $3 per pound, including shipping. Any takers?    |

Ah, sorry I’m late to this post. But, I’ve bought several boxes like these from Diane in the past, and have always been happy with the goodies 😊.

I'm good for a mystery, especially if that's malachite in that last photo!

Hi all. I finally just opened my box of slabs. Got it a few days ago but been too busy to get to my stack of mail. There are some really great slabs in there! Definitely some I'll be trying to identify and look for more. Thanks Diane!
