So I get a call from Cal this morning asking if I was going to be around and if so, he'd stop by on his lunch hour. Man, he must have a good boss, cuz when he stops by on his lunch hour, it winds up more like hour and a half. Anyway, he pulls out a box and says here, take what you want. So I did. Kamamby Jasper slab Kims Brecciated Jasper A couple of chunks of a Mexican agate(I can't remember for sure) Thanks Cal.

Hey Ed, your welcome. the last rock is aqua nueva agate. I have very flexible hours.. I get to work any 12 hours per day LOL. Actually, I got lucky, a 2pm meeting was cancelled, but I totally forget about a 1pm meeting today, as luck would have it, the meeting was re-scheduled for Thursday. So, I won't be able to stop by on Thursday.
Oh yeah, I got a chunk of mahogany obsidian and rooster tail agate. I saw in another post you went by Wenrics, did you grab all the good poppy jasper? I may go over on Thursday LOL. Cal

That's some great looking material. I especially like the first chunk of Mexican agate.

Okay, then this is the swazi. The breccia was red and black and this is red with clear sections.

Stephan, the Swazi is from Gerdus in South Africa. The Kabamby was from Rockman69 on Ebay. And, the Gemshop was running a sale on the Aqua Nueva agates a month or so ago. The GemShop will run a special on a couple or a few types of rocks every other month or so. There's an ad in Rock and Gem and also on their website. After buying the poppy jasper from the local rockshop, I am going to have to let the Visa card cool down before it melts, or my wife cuts it up! LOL.
