I like them all, but especially the last three: red striped, green, and white, blue, black lines. Don’t need to break them up.

I have various sized pieces of all three of those. Approximately what size pieces do you need? Like fist size?

I’d like enough to cover a 2’ square, but I have no idea how much that would weigh.

I’d like enough to cover a 2’ square, but I have no idea how much that would weigh. Would depend on a variety of things such as the thickness of the stone, and if you are planning on slabbing the stone to cover 2' , then the thickness of the slabs to be able to cover that much. I pulled some stone early this morning, will be photographing them shortly.
If you would like to message me and give me a better idea of what you are trying to accomplish exactly, that could help a lot and I may have some suggestions. I will keep any information secret. And it would make things a lot easier as it sounds like you could get by with larger larger rocks, which I have more of. Don't have a lot of palm sized stones in the wood jasper especially.

My MFRB from James arrived today, this is a good deal on some quality rough! I don’t think anyone buying this will be unhappy! Thank you James!

Still waiting on mine. Post Office seems to be having trouble getting it out of Nevada LOL. Probably sitting at my local PO waiting to be scanned. My usual mail lady is on vacation and my road is the last one on the route so we often don't get mail for days when she's gone (we got no mail this week until yesterday lol) Hopefully it will get here tomorrow otherwise it will be Wednesday before we see mail again (they almost never deliver to us on the day before a holiday).

Hi Stefan, Yes, looks like it may be a few days. Appears they are having significant delays. Was supposed to be there yesterday, but looks like they are not close to delivery yet. Maybe they had to wait to find someone strong enough to lift the box.

Our normal mail lady doesn't work on Mondays. There have been several Mondays where my wife and I are sitting in the living room the the "sub" flies by the house...usually around 5-6pm...like they "quit" for the day even though they didn't finish the route. Other times I've had packages where the tracking said it was out to be delivered...only for the "subs" to update the tracking to "unable to access property" rather than actually delivering the package! |

 Yea it's here! Box was beat to crap but NOTHING fell out! My mail lady Was back today (doing some OT she said). She said there were a lot of packages that were having "delays" I guess if they don't scan them in they can't deliver them. Anyway, this stuff is amazing. Can't wait to get some into the tumbler. |

Glad it got there in one piece. Boxes worry me because of how the Post Office handles them, especially heavy ones. So I line the boxes with rip resistant plastic to help prevent the rocks from cutting through the cardboard, and make sure to reinforce corners and edges especially with tape. Sometimes I also ad fiber reinforced tape on the inside of the box. Since it is opaque the Post Office does not allow it on the outside, so running it around the inside gives extra support, especially on large flat rate boxes.
Look forward to seeing the finished stones.

Sorry I am delayed posting photos. I want to tell all that my package arrived Monday. Each rock was wrapped separately, and the entire package was well wrapped. The rocks are perfect! I look forward to cutting them. I’ll post photos when I can. Thanks, vegasjames! |

I live local so I was able to pick my rocks up in person and meet James and Jax. Great people (well, person and dog). Great tumbling rough as well. The first batch is in the tumbler now so it will be a while until I have anything to show.
