This years Labor Day weekend show was a lot of fun. Here's some of what we found.

Slabs

This is some Mojave Pastellite

Interesting AZ wood, small dino bone

Some Interesting red orby stuff from the spider web rhyolite claim featherstone fossil, and polkadot

More polka dot one cab wonders

Fossil goodness for one of Elizabeths planned projects.

Rough... We went through some buckets our freinds were selling for $1/ lb. It was fresh from an astate and unsorted. First the highlights:
Rainbow and gold sheen obsidian,

A big 1 inch plus thick slab of mossy rainbow wood

Arkansas Stone (Novaculite) and colorful Brecciated stuff

And the rest, some jade, tree agate, t-eggs, etc etc. Oh, and the chunk of obsidian on the left front has FIRE in it, I noticed that after taking pics.

Oh yeah, we also got some Morocco Berber agate, I'll post slabs later after I finish cutting.

“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

I believe the Pastellite is also known as Chapenite. Bob

I went to that same show on Saturday. It was hot and windy! I only got a few things, but the things I did get were all things I'm totally happy with. I'll have to post up.

Dang, you bought a lot of rough! I usually only get polished pieces and mineral specimens because I don't have any cutting or polishing gear besides the tumbler.

Nice, nice buys! I hope the prices were nice also!
