Material is expensive but the quality is high. Size is less important than yield. The Guadalupe widest dimensions 5x4, larger Imperial 4.5x3.5, smaller 4x3.    |

Gently banging the slabs together, it sounds like bone China dishes. I bid $160 on the Guadalupe when John Rowland was out of town and they wanted more. When John was there, I got it for $120. Guadalupe is nasty with fractures and vugs. This one is absolutely clean with the entire slab is usable. I laid out seven cabs in pencil but am saving it for the future.

Wow! That 1st one looks like a photo of a desert landscape at dusk with mountains in the background and some saguaros in the foreground. These arrived today. The marks were already on the slabs.    |

I don't do belt buckles. The framing was good so I laid a 40x30 pear over the same area.

I use imgbox to host since it is free and easy. Clicking on a photo can result in porn. There is no reason to click since it shows the same picture. I've been using it to post here for a long time.

Sounds like you need a new host.

I didn't see any porn when I clicked on the pictures. stardiamond if you know this is an issue, I suggest you use another host. However, I didn't see any on this page. |

What I would recommend is when posting photos from that host please remove the URL from each photo. The photos show up fine on their own using only the 'img' tags - we don't need the photos to be clickable. I've edited out the links if you want to take a look at what I'm talking about. |

I'll try that. I've been posting the same way for more than 5 years and understand the issue. |

Well back to the slabs, the Guadalupe and Luna are my favorites. I get email reminders for the HP sales but so far I haven’t been able to make it to any due to work conflicts. Probably for the best…
