OK, so I don't have enough rocks already! JC took me up to one of his customers homes. She wanted to get rid of all her rock. Well..............I am just so happy to oblige!! LMAO I got a really good deal but will need some help with ID's Here is the link to the pics, if you will just comment on them as to what you think they are. It is photobucket so everyone should be able to view! Have fun! s82.photobucket.com/albums/j248/SBreed/July%202009%20Buy%20Out/Sheri

Sheri, I think the piece you thought to be morrisonite might be Succor Creek or Rocky Butte.

Ok Sheri. Here are a few I think I can ID off the top my head: 2196-One of the pacific NW dendritic Agates maybe Paiute or Snake River 2198-Dumortierite from Indian pass, CA 2200- Indian Green Moss from the Deccan Plateau 2202- ? Maybe kyanite in quartz 2203- Rocky Butte Picture Jasper 2207- Aussie Dendritic opalite 2208- Black Tourmaline ( shorl) in quartz 2213-Green jasper/opalite from Gem Hill, CA 2214- Can't tell if the red is metallic or not from the picture but looks a bit like native copper in matrix if it is? ? 2216- Looks a bit like caressite or morrisonite 2222-Tempskya-fossil tree fern from eastern Oregon 2226- sagenite of some kind 2237- Looks like cave Creek Jasper from AZ 2242- chrysocolla in red jasper sometimes called parrotwing 2245-Maybe Arco or Beacon Hill green moss from Idaho or less likely Horse Canyon material 2246- Morgan Hill Poppy jasper 2247- Anderson Mine dendritic agate from AZ 2249- Only a guess because i don't know physical characteristics, but color looks right for Clear Creek Jadeite from San Benito, Co, CA 2259- Petosky stone-fossil coral 2263- Think maybe Indian whiteskin agate but could be a Montana too....Mel

I might add that if any of you are into rare wood, the golden Tempskya fern from around Greenhorn, Oregon, is getting very hard to come by these days, bordering on pretty rare, plus, it's an interesting lapidary material too. I already have some but for you wood collectors, here's a good chance to pick some up....Mel

That was enjoyable going through the pictures but trying to figure out what they are??? not good at it. I love the blues you have and on picture 63, you have a little smiley face next to your finger. I like that stone! Fran

Wow Sheri - that is a LOT of cool stuff. Bet you are excited! (Mel sure identifies a lot "off the top of his head" :-)
You said a lot would go up for sale on your website. I don't see a link on your profile. Am I missing something? Barb

LOL Barb, still working on the website. It is not up and running yet. Still working out the kinks. I will still sell if you want something. You don't have to wait for the website.
