My daughter and I were at a show today and naturally we saw a lot of cool material. Although I am on a self-imposed lapidary spending freeze I have started my material wish list. I thought it might be fun to hear what material (slabs, tumbles, etc) was on other people's wish list too so please chime in.
My (current) top three in no particular order:
Leopardskin Jasper
Unakite
Labradorite (I have some, just not enough!)

Hmm....I have a weakness for Mexican Crazy lace and Ocean Jasper. Always interested in collecting more of those.
My biggest hearts desire right now is a slab saw. Maybe a 10 inch Covington (eyes are now glazing over).

Right now I have enough goodies to work with ... however ... the equipment on my wish list to play with these are ...
Small rock saw
Small 6 wheel grinding unit (self contained preferred)
2-3 more twin 3 pound barrel tumblers
As always

#1 - Thumler's UV-18 tumbler
#2 - 16" Slab Saw ... someday, when I'm rich and famous.
#3 - Cabbing machine, for when I "retire" from hounding.
