I picked up an estate sale today, some real interesting pieces in it. I got a few pictures as we were unloading it, not of everything, just stuff that I had to stop and take pics of. Sorting and boxing some of the stuff   A solid chunk of silicon  A few pieces Chris pulled out to take home  A couple of chunks of Colbough turquoise   A complete Star Diamond cabbing station  Wore little Lizee out  Got lots of grit, rotary and vibe tumblers, a couple of flat laps, lots of hand tools, several crates of rock, several buckets of polished stones, some fun stuff, also got a bear skin rug and a cougar skin rug. Going to take a while to go through it all. Have a great day..................Tony |

Naturenut!!!! Why does the man always have to be accused of making it. A woman could have made it you know.

Never seen a cougar skin rug before. That is a really big piece of silicone. Does it have pits in it? I cabbed some of that piece you sent me before, it makes really interesting cabs. We have some of that man-made turquoise as well. I've never been able to get a good shine on it. Nice finds.
