Had the day off today and saw there was an estate sale happening in Sun City that advertised rocks and minerals. I went and checked it out this morning and came away with a nice little box for 25 bucks! a nice big agate, maybe a coprolite? a neat piece of crazy lace wood bone with a nice bubbly agate center blue crystal cluster and azurite/copper chunk gem silica and amazonite? containers of peridot and some little misc pieces Thanks for looking!

I sure do wish someone would move from the west to Ohio and have an estate sale here with finds like that. So far it has not happened that I have heard about. Those are really wonderful and for only $25.00. You found a steal.

Yep Brian scores again! I think your right on the 1st piece being a Coprolite. It sure looks like some stuff we collect down near Green River, Utah area. LOVE that little Gem Silica. That ones gonna make some sweet slabs or even a great speciman. Congrats! Steve

Definitely a great score. I'd agree on the blue crystal cluster as celestite.
