Hey all. I don't know how Gaetz missed this auction, but I'm glad he did. I won this last week and it arrived today and man, this is some of the nicest carnellian I've seen. Can't wait to slab and cab it. This photo is the one used in the auction, but I don't think I could take a better photo of it.

Stoner-
I've pledged to tumble the stuff I've got and to not buy more stuff for awhile. I'm still waiting to hear back from Astrogallery to see how they are gonna deal w/ this.
Congrats on a good buy. It looks like really great stuff. If you'd like to trade some slabs, I'll send you some of mine. I'll send you some picts if you like.......PM me.
Would you care to declare who you bought this from? I still like to watch and see what things are going for.
gaetz

I got this stuff from the people who always put "ORCA" in front of their auctions. I can get their exact name if you like. These 2 pieces weigh 4lbs and I got them for $16+ shipping. I figure with material this nice, I could make a few cabs and get my money back, if I ever get around to selling my cabs. Watch and see what things are going for? Man, you got better self restraint than me. Cher, give me a couple of hours, I just opened the box, and I still need to get my butt to the post office.

I saw this listing. I was looking at some Prudent Man that maplestuff had. It looked real nice, but I am trying to stick to jasper and scenic agate.
Lets see a cab!

Too cool Ed, That is some nice looking stuff. The funny thing is i have been waiting for a batch from a friend in Oregon in trade for some good chrysoprase. I got the box over the weekend and cut up the first good piece. Well, up to the point of a druzy pocket. But got some fine little slabets out of it. Havent worked carnelian this good in like, ever. Cant wait to see comes cabs you cut. \ and cant wait to cab some of this up.

That's a great color. Ok, you've had six hours, where's the cabs?

I just posted a cab in the the cab section Joe. I was a little disappointed after cutting these rocks because it wasn't a nice solid orange like the piece Shain has pictured. It's still makes for some nice cabs though.
