Hey all. Today was our local rock show and it was a pretty good one this year. Lots of good deals, plenty of things to see, and I got to talk to jadecarver about his wheels and such. Nice guy. So, here are the bags of slabs I got. The price is marked on the bag under the slabs. I'm being lazy, so these are thumbnails. Blue Adventurine, $4 for the lot And now the bags of rocks. These bags had mixed agates, jaspers, chrysoprase, amythest mix, WWR material. $2.50 $3.00 $2.00 Some closeups of the above bag. These slabs were $5.00 each, nice plume and sagnite agates. Condor Agates, $10/lb Condor's, $20/lb They had a 20lb Condor Geode on their counter and I was tempted to buy it. The girl was going to give me a good price, but my wife was there, and she talked some sense into me. Hell, I even called Gil to see if he would buy some slabs if I bought it just to justify buying it! Oh, and I also got a small chunk of nice WWR red plume for $10 but I forgot to take a pic of it. I thought I did pretty good, all this for around $90. And tomorrow, I'm going back to Morgan Hill for more poppy jasper. Man, what a weekend!

Good looking stuff Stoner. Good prices too. That adventurine was a heck of deal. Cool to see WWR agate way out there.

You are going to have to wear a bandit mask just to go to the grocery store after that haul.
Can't wait to see what you do with them.

Great Haul Ed! Man, you know how to seek out the deals. I like what's in photos #4. Those are some real nice slabs. Man, you are having one great weekend. I can't wait to see the cabs that come from those slabs.
It's cool you were able to talk to jadecarver. He's been at a show up here before. Steve

Wow great haul Ed! They never have slab bags at our show as the dealers don't want the clubs to sell or auction much in the way of slabs. Looks like excellent prices and materials at your gig though!....mel

Nice haul! I went to the show this morning. I picked up one of the small Condor agates as a display piece. The gal offered the other half for 50% off so I picked that up also (my daughter claimed it). I also picked up a chunk of plume agate. I did show some restraint at the club table although I am not sure why LOL.
