Ok ~ I just got back from my mines this past weekend and I have several more trips planned for the next several months.... So it's time to start clearing rocks! Right now I have 3 flat rate boxes with more to come!
The first box is a mixture of small carnelian and other various pieces of agate. I'm going to call this tumbling grade as it's small, however I'm sure there's pieces good enough to cab? The box weighs 30 Pounds and I'm asking $25.00 + Shipping.
The second box is - A nice selection of Fallen Tree Thundereggs fresh dug from my mine this past Saturday. They are all smaller eggs 1" to 3" and they contain anything from Agate, Opal and zeolite centers. In this mine the majority of the eggs seem to be hollow with zeolite centers - Unsure what exact minerals are present but there's several. Kids love to break these open! This box weighs 22 Pounds and I'm asking $30.00 + Shipping.
The last box is Midnight/Mahogany Lace Obsidian from Glass Butte, Oregon. This is the most popular type obsidian for flintknapping as it's a transparent/transluscent colored base glass with black flow bands... Very pretty material! This box weighs 25# and I'm asking $35.00 + shipping. The box contains smaller pieces as well. Around fist size +/- a bit.
If interested send me PM
Thanks!

Gotta lick those rocks to see if they shine!!
I forgot to mention, when cracking these eggs the best thing to do is center your hammer strike along the "veins" or "pressure ridges" on the Thunderegg. Light taps until they start to open.. Some of them might end up in more than a couple pieces though =)
