Michael, I'll take this lot too. I just bought the saw tonight. I might as well start wailing away on some rocks. Please send me a PM confirm that nobody has already paid you for these rocks and I'll paypay you right away.

I got this lot today in the mail. This box is jam packed with all at least fist-sized rocks, all different shapes, and I swear it is almost a perfectly filled and flat on top. I'm guessing that somebody is a whiz at Tetris. Thanks Michael!

Hehehe I had to add some extra "agate peanuts" to keep everything from moving around.
The chunk in the eighth pic down ... the purple one with the cool patterns ... that's from one unique big chunk that I found. I've never seen anything like it. Unless I get REAL lucky and find more, you have something totally rare there. Treat it as you would very expensive material. Don't bust it up or tumble it. Use it strictly for cabbing material, using every bit. It's very hard and solid, and I know it'll make awesome cabs.

Noonan! Miss!" why don't you? |

Hehehe just put it aside and tackle it when you're ready for it. I have quite a bit of stuff put aside for "someday/if" ... in the meantime, it's cool to look at.
There's an unassuming chunk of stuff you got, too. In the first pic, it's in the second row from the top, fourth piece from the left. It looks all crusty on the outside. Inside is some sweet red moss agate from Owlhole Springs. It's not unique, but it is pretty rare. That's another piece that you should put aside until you're confident that you can make nice cabs with it.
OH, YEAH ... second row from the bottom, second piece from the right. Rare and valuable. Put it aside, too.
I knew I really liked this batch ... lotta sweet stuff there. You definately got your money's worth! LOL
