Whoo ee! Last evening I got home to find a trade parcel from Midnight Roxy with a little help from Desertdweller. Boy oh boy, got to take stuff out in the sun this morning and spray it with water for a first look. A virtual rock tour of the southwest! Gorgeous rocks and many I have never had examples of in my collection. Too many to photograph them all so here are a few pics of my favorites. Sorry for the bad light as sun is really scarce in my back yard this time of year. Roxy and Jamie. Thanks so much I love them all! Rest of you, thanks for looking at my pics....Mel Neat sagenite on left and a wild banded agate on the right. I thought the banded one was travertine but it's too hard. Misc pretty faced hunks: More beauts: Picture really does not do these justice! Brenda Plume and some others: My favorite from them all and a new material for me, Rodeo Flats Agate: Gorgeous hunk! Verde Agate Couple from the Chimney Beds: Another nice new material for me: And finally, a couple of pieces of that neat Pipeline Canyon, Utah agate:

Well I'm glad ya liked them... I had to make sure I got the right kind of rocks for the trade, so I took them to the Rock Guru of AZ.... she Made Sure every piece was RTH worthy.. So I'd have to give her the credit for the box being filled with Quality A rocks.. And even gave every one of them a Proper Name.. lol.. Thanks Girl,

Well it was mostly Jamie.... she really knew what Mel liked and that rock was from her that he liked from the flats.. Myself I just wish I had a really good camera to show you the box he sent me.. and some of the cuts I got from it.. AWESOME Material! I can't wait to start making Cabs..Well..
Some day..
