I ordered 8 pounds of smaller pieces of dino bone a few weeks back for 8 bucks a pound. I don't know what I am going to get until I start cutting it. Sometimes it's good pieces, sometimes great & then again not so good. I took my not so good chunks to the flea market today & traded a few pieces which she will sell to those people who want dino bone just for the novelty of having a piece or for whatever energy dino bone puts off. These are the things I got today & I took some time to get a slice or two off of some of them. 1. I am guessing a brecciated jasper of some sort & hard! Some green rocks I just had to slice to see what was inside of them. 1. 2. This one really got me excited!!! 3. Another piece of this stuff 4. 5. 6. Arizona wood? 7. Some geodes/thundereggs 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Slice off a chunk 13. A slice off of a chunk 14. These are some pieces from the liquidation - id would be appreciated, please. 15. Already showed a pic of this one but this is a better picture. Is this banded fluorite? I think I did pretty good for some not so good pieces of dino bone! ;D ;D

:drool: I'd say you did great! That second to last picture, the green polished stone looks like Crysoprase to me. If it is, that is an expensive little beauty because it looks high quality! the green and blue may be malichite with chrysocola in quarts and if it is, it is also high quality. I would say each piece you have there looks wonderful! Fran
