I sent a message inquiring about your rough for sale, not sure if it came through. Is it still available? Looks great. Hoping to get your 20# deal. Thanks in advance, Ronn Yes, putting some boxes together now to ship out Monday. Cut my knuckle deep on a piece of metal a few days ago, and have been waiting for it to heal some so I can bend the finger all the way again. Sorry to hear about your injury...make sure you are up to date on your tetanus vaccine! |

Sorry to hear about your injury...make sure you are up to date on your tetanus vaccine! Thanks, but I do not do vaccines. I have not even gone to a doctor in almost 43 years. Even when I crushed my fingers with a 380 boulder and they started smelling like gangrene, I just treated them with ozone and the healed up great. The skin grew back and I did not lose either nail.

Hello there vegasjames! pebblesky was kind enough to steer me your way in my recent thread. It looks like a bunch of your rocks in the selection would match what I'm looking for. sunset jasper candy rhyolite stonewall canyon jasper green/white rhyolite and if there's blue in it, the wood jasper would be fantastic Is there any chance I could request larger pieces so that I'd be producing less waste (and you wouldn't have to break the rock up nearly as much)? I know you're offering this for a great price so I'd not be asking you to jump through hoops for me, but if it would be no extra effort to accomplish, I'd love to buy a couple boxes! |

I can pack up unbroken pieces if you want so you can break them down to the size you like Or I can partially break stuff down. Few of those I am not sure if I have any large pieces left. I will have to look around. |

That's pretty amazing! You remind me of my brother's neighbor. He was telling him how he got bit by a small rattlesnake in his back yard a couple of weeks before. (CA foothills) He said he called the hospital but they didn't have antivenom, so he "stayed home and tuffed it out!" |

(CA foothills) He said he called the hospital but they didn't have antivenom, so he "stayed home and tuffed it out!" I live in Nevada anyway, which is the 3rd worst health care system in the U.S. And I spent 13 years working in allopathic medicine with doctors and other medical personnel before moving on to holistic medicine. I saw so much stupidity, quackery and outright corruption. That was one of the reasons I decided to leave allopathic medicine.
When I crushed my fingers as bad as I did, the doctors would have likely wanted to take them off when they started to smell like gangrene. When I lacerated my liver and has a slow internal bleed, they would have wanted to do surgery. When I cut the end of my thumb off, they would have stitched over the end and I would not have been able to grow it back.......... I would rather take care of the problem myself with minimal invasiveness, at home away from all the nasty pathogens in a hospital and without dangerous to deadly pharmaceutical drugs whenever possible. Short of major trauma that wold require surgery, I can properly treat most injuries and diseases I could possibly end up with. That is what I have been doing for decades.

vegasjames I know this thread is over a year old, but I just saw that it got bumped. Is there any chance that you have any of this mix left?

I'm interested in 20# and a couple slabs (candy rhyolite?) if it's available. Just got home from leading a rock trip for our kid's club.
I will have to bust some up because most the candy rhyolite I have busted up is in the mix of other stones.
I do not have any slabbed up, but I can add a piece large enough to slab if you like.
