Cool stones. Green is my favorite color and it also tends to what I pick out most to cab as well. Very nice bunch of cabs there. I don't think that there is much around here to pick up. The green banded "serpentine?" material is the only one I can get much quantity of, up to 1 ton boulders, but the rest are just barely fist size pickers and smaller. I find small pendant sized "nephrite?" pebbles that are interesting enough by themselves, to mount unpolished. I may try to develope some sales of the banded green in the future.

The green material Lloyd has is gorgeous! Lloyd, I don't think your work area is any messier than mine, that's including that crazy mad cabbing cat, Max, that has to investigate everything I put on the table and the machine. ;D Hope to see a video of how you in action soon! Wondered if the Lloydite and disdero areas are flooded? Attachments:

This is a picture with the closest representation of colour in the banded green material but it is a more yellow tone and a more vivid tone as well, It doesn't photo well for me; I'll have to play with the settings a bit more. I think you have some of this Jan? The collecting sites are up on the hills but the roads would be mush if you tried to use them Attachments:
