Greetings All,
I know, I know, it's been a while since I posted. I plead being busy and or being lazy, depending on how I'm feeling at the moment. At anyrate I am very close to finalizing my purchase of 2000 kg of rough from the South African company. They just sent me the latest list of their rough (they have numerous mineral specimens as well as rough rock) and I though I'd pass it along for everyone to look at. Note I'm just including the rough rock list and minerals, they also have a number of "curios" and miscellaneous items. The website is www.mineralgallery.co.za
Enjoy! WilliamC

31. Blue banded swirl stone. This is a new stone that has just come in. It has been a long time since I have been so excited about a new rock.. It looks like my swirled budstone but it is in royal blues. A thin slab shows good translucency. It is the color of lapis lazuli. This must be one of the most exciting rough finds in a long time in Africa. The good AAA grade pieces are few so order quickly to avoid somebody else grabbing it before you. It came in yesterday and I did not even have time to photograph it yet. Price $ 9.50 per kg. I can send pictures when you ask. I will take pictures today.
