This is parcel number 2 lapidary rough for tumbling and it is $31.50, that includes shipping. This is number 3 The next three parcels are $50.00 each, $61.50 with shipping. The 4th parcel is made up of lacy stuff, not really sure of a positive ID for the big pieces so if anyone knows, please chime in. The amethyst lace is extremely nice, top quality material. The price works out to about $3.00 per lb, actually a little less than $3. This is number 4 This is number 5 Golden sheen obsidian, tiffany stone, rhodenite, labradorite, plume, amethyst lace, a big piece or 2 of the other lacy stuff and a really nice banded chunk that has red fortification bands running through it. Again, I'm not sure what it is but it's very colorful. This is number 6 bloodstone, denditric opalite, chrysocolla, chrysocolla with malachite, horse canyon moss agate, a chunk of brenda agate, lucin variscite, lemon chrysophrase, green plume from Koning's pile, flame agate and a couple of pieces of atlantisite with stichtite from Zeehan, Tasmania I'm sorry for all of those that are using dial up, I tend to get a little crazy with the pictures. If anyone is interested, please just post a note here on this thread, I'll check it often. I do have enough material to make 3 or 4 parcels that would be just like number 4, in case more than 1 person should want that one. Every box I sell will be packed as full as I can get it. Thanks for looking.

Jamie, --- I'm looking real hard at number 5 -- but you will have to give me an excuse to spend that much when I already have a few more rocks than I need ! ;D

Hi Dave, I haven't talked to you in such a long time. How the heck are you doing? Are you still panning for the gold? The elusive gold, that is? I sure missed you at the Burro Creek trip this year.........
I definitely have a purpose for selling my rocks, but I think everyone here can relate to needing some money to pay for something that wasn't exactly planned into their budget.
Mine just happens to be an unexpected trip to Utah for a while.

I guess I will take # 6 since snowdog got the one I was drooling over ;D Now, if you have another piece of that beautiful rhodonite or the purple and pink lacey stuff, let me know and we can see about adding that in. Fran

Hi Fran, Steve, Robin and Rogerr, I think I sent PM's to all of you. Thanks for taking an interest in the boxes. Okay, numbers 5 and 6 are gone and I think Steve is taking one of the tumbling parcels so there are three left. I think Rodney took some pictures of the purple and pink lacy stuff after it was cut so I'll see if he will post those.

Steve, We shipped two of your boxes on Friday, parcel # 3 will go out today. Dave, I found my gold ore and stuck it in your box, please take a really close look at the pieces that are in the little plastic bag, inside the bigger plastic bag. (I didn't want to lose any gold cuz those pieces in the little bag have some on the surface.) Crush it and pan it, I bet it will light up your gold pan with a really nice trail. The rocks sure didn't look like the kind of ore you would find gold in, Rod and I both kept a specimen, I've already lost mine in the abyss, along with the other bag of ore............(Must of put it in a really secret squirrel spot I guess.) Shannon, your box also went out on Friday.
Fran, I'm packing your box right now, it will go out along with Scot's 2 boxes before 4:30 today. Did I miss anyone? If I am overlooking something, please let me know. Rogerr, if you still want a box, just send me a note and I'll send you some pictures....
Thanks everyone, if there are any problems with the boxes, please let me know so I can take care of it.
Thanks again,
Jamie

OK, box #2 and #3 arrived and wow are they great! I'm going to have one happy tumbler! As usual, it's all top notch stuff. Thank you Jamie! ;D.The pictures don't do it justice. All great stuff. There is a great assortment of just about everythying, and a lot of it is AZ moss which I go bananas for! The funniest part of this whole thing was trying to get an FRB past my wife. I've tried every trick in the book so when we got home I had to resort to "What? there's no box there...It's the light reflecting off the flower pot there"...(Mrs. Rockicker kicks the FRB and says "then what's this")..."Oh, it's just the shadows, hard to see...what are you talking about, there's nothing there"...I didn't get too far with that one but she loved looking through the rocks as much as I did. Thank you again Jamie for the wonderful FRB's! Steve
