These are my two beauties. I think the first pic is a Condor and have no idea what the second is and would love to know. The next are rough rock that I purchased in an aquarium shop. The guy said the rocks come from Nebraska.(I got the idea to look there for rocks from another members post) Some sort of marble? Sodalite??? and what else? Honey Onyx or Orange Calcite??? I chopped the heck out of the orange stuff with my $88 HD Tile saw just to get some pieces to try to cut a preform cab. I might actually be able to work into a cab with the one on the bottom left if ever I get to making a grinder and polisher for cabs. Thanks for any help with the IDs and thanks for looking Lori

Nebraska? YOU GOT THAT FROM NEBRASKA? Where? Ok, I guess we do have some rocks like that, but I thought they were shipped in from out of state. Excited to think I could maybe find rocks, since I am in NE. What fun! Where did you get the idea? Do tell! And your other rocks are amazing. Thanks! Took me a sec to get over the NE thing, whew. I'm OK now.

Maybe I'm wrong, the guy may have said Nevada. It was a while ago that I purchased it Got the idea to look in an aquarium shop from a post I read when I was a non member skulking around ;D. Going to go back there in September as that is when he said he was getting more in. He charged $1.25 a pound.
