Once again, my wife was onto me when I tried to sneak some FRBs in the door. I got home in time to stash them in the garage, but she knew something was up. I think I had a big grin on my face or something. She knows when I'm up to something. I don't know how she does it. It wasn't long before she looked in the garage and found 5 FRBs full of rocks. She seriously has FRB radar. Luckily she is accepting of my hobby. It must be that I always give her pleanty of wire wraps. I'll be sure to make a her a special one out of the botz. Steve Here they are on the doorstep. Here's the goodies inside. These are from an auctionmasters sale. Botz, already tumbled. I got these to recut into cabs. Tumbling rough. It's Texas agate. Lots of good stuff in here. It will keep the tumblers fed for a while. There's about 70 pounds. Chrysocolla. Different than I am used to but very nice. Some of these have a lot of silica.

I'm glad I'm not alone in being an FRB junkie!

OK, she's fine with it. Now I just got to sneak in a lot of tumbling grit, but not for a while.
Agategrrl, I got them them from auctionmasters.com, from Minnesota. They have lapidary auctions now and then. Sometimes, the prices are way too high and othertmes there are some great deals to be had. They also charge a buyers premium.
Yeah 181liz, I'm an admitied FRB junkie, and now that they have the bigger one I'm in trouble. It's also harder to hide that new bigger one under your shirt ;D Steve

Lol! So funny. I think you could paper an entire room with all the FRB boxes you've gotten! Keep Mrs. Rocklicker decked out in your awesome wire wraps, how could she complain?
