some pics of my newest stuff... (anyone ever hear the term "collector" applied to people that can't stop bringing animals home? Thank God! these rocks are dead or I'd be in TROUBLE!) nice little group of willow with white orbs. this is blue morrisonite with goldenrod & white streamers. the pic doesn't do justice cause it's much more vibrant than shown. I just couldn't get a better pic. (the brown is also morrisonite Ive had for a while...just needed something to prop with) another willow...fleshy pink orbs with real pretty lime green streamers. black willow creek cab...pretty rare. And the BIG FINISH! An 11 lb hunk of willow creek with pink, green, purple & lavender in it. Thanks fer looking all!

HEy Liz, Nice pattern on the chunk. I would be up for a slab trade. Let me know what you might want and I will look through my hord. Prodent Man endcut? Slab of yellow/white dendritic opalite from Australia? cab sized piece of Pietersite or dark blue Lapis? Bit of Charolite? Lets talk.

Beautiful slabs! And the big rock has a very promissing pattern on that section, I think it would make some really beautiful slabs.

Liz: Really nice 'poop'...never thought I would say that to a lady! On the collector thing, before our daughter (now 33) left the nest, I had to threaten the humane society about giving her animals. Even today, I am amazed about some of the animals she came home with. Woody

Steve...the really good stuff I have mostly comes from Philip at Tigeroak. He's top notch to do business with but gets premium $$ for his stuff. (But he goes out of his way to make sure his customers are fully happy) He's very good friends with Mr. Gene Stewart who's Daddy was one of the original cronies that brought the morrisonite to the market and no matter what question you may have...he's always willing to share his knowledge.
Daniel...I'm gonna hold onto the 11 lb hunk for now...but when I get around to slabbin it up...I'll give ya a holler to trade...okay?
Woodyrock...we're amongst friends ;D so you can talk about my poo anytime! I thought it was a nice pile myself! LOL

Thanks Liz. I'll definitely check him out again. I know I've looked at his website, but now I'm into cabbing...my rock tastes have become more expensive; although I can't afford it! I guess it's more of that addiction coming out. Steve
