My auction to help pay for the Zoo bench for my friend Ed Mohs. About a year and a half ago he was helping me move saws and stuff from the toy hauler, so slabs seemed appropriate.
Particulars first.
Auction closes at 5 pm (Pacific time) on Saturday August 26, 2023.
Shipping is free, payment will be to the Mohs memorial fund.
This will be a carefully packed FRB with slabs taped to stacked cardboard sheets, tape will have slab ID written on it as well. We're starting with 12 slabs, estimated value $200 plus, more will be added, at least one at each $50 increment starting at $100 and there will also be surprises for the winner. Bidding starts at $20.00
First is Porterville Flower Jade, jhenyarockhound met us in Prineville this year, and after buying a foredom from us gave us this slab after asking about rock sale fundraisers on the board. This is nice hard to find stuff, The small pendant came off the original slab, I'm planning to keep that but it's here to show how nice it is.
China Jasper is from realrockhound
Mojave material from Jeremy who is a friend of christopherl1234 and jhenyarockhound we traded with in Prineville. This is a thick end cut.
Moss agate from Handleys rock and gem in Vancouver WA
Galaxy Rhyolite from Kevin the Stellar oil guy, Mexican material.
Serape Agate from Richardsons Rock Ranch in Oregon, a close cousin of the old Crazy Lace from Chihuahua Mexico.
The rest is from my drawers of personal cabbers
Gembone
Florida Coral from the Million Souls Mine
Wyoming Jade
Zebra Agate from India
Inca Blanket from Chile, tapered end cut
Rocky Butte picture Jasper.
The group shot. The black background is a plastic school folder 11 1/2 inches wide for reference. Both sides except for the end cuts.
A little more on the flowering jade.
Miss you, my friend.
