Good day..been gone for awhile and am trying to raise capital, as it were, to get back into wire wrapping and I need wheels for cabbing. That's the motivation and the deal is that I still have a lot of rock and would like to give you guys a shot as I work on refurbishing a new web page and using Ebay. I am no longer Banjo-Creek.com, but am newly BanjoCreek.biz, work in progress. Some of you may remember. If this sounds reasonable I have rock crushed, for those unable to whack it yourself, and I have fist sized to football sized rock for cutting. It is a plethora of stuff mostly found in the U.S.A. Jaspers agates, Picture Jasper, Plume agate, rhyolite, Maury mtn. moss agate, etc. The basics go like this. A small flat rate box of crushed mixed agate and jasper is 5.50, and you pay shipping ($5.35). About 3 pounds worth, great for the beginner with a 3# tumbler. Then I have a MFR box of crushed mix for $26.00. That is usually over 20 pounds. Again, you pay FRB shipping $11.35. Lastly a MFR box of rough just as it is, not crushed and fist sized and larger is just a buck a pound. You pay shipping. I need to buy grit too, and probably belts. I have attached photos and would be happy to take more if you like. Any additional info you might need, I am happy to provide as well. Thanks for your help! All photos dry.

Great to see you on here again, Mike. hope all is well. Do you have a list of rough you have available?
For those not familiar with Banjo, you will get great rough at a great price from one of the board's old masters. Give a Christmas gift to yourself. You will be glad you did.

Matt-I have yet to go through the stuff and sort it all, so a list would be tough. Plus I am not so educated that I could even identify all of it. I could get some photos and post them I suppose. I do have an abundance of plum agate, ahwyhee picture jasper, green quartz, some agate from Burro Creek, Pet wood, Moss agates, Various jaspers and obsidian. As far a sphering goes is there a particular size, or pattern that you are looking for? And Thanks Larry!

A medium flate rate box is $47.95 for shipping, and I'd like to check to see if there are weight restrictions. Then there is customs paper work to fill out. If you really, really need rocks, I can do more investigating for you, it's kind of pricey.

Wow Mike, long time! It's great to hear that you're gonna get back into wire wrapping, you were the whole inspiration for me getting into it and I still wrap almost every night. It's been more than 7 years since I last ordered rocks from you! I'd like 2 medium flat raters, fist sized and larger cutters, anything that an 18 inch saw will handle and let me know what I owe ya (and your paypal addy), great to see ya back!

Count me in for an MFR also! I'm not lucky enough to have an 18" saw, just a 10" so it'll have to be roughly fist sized and not much bigger if possible. PM me the total and your PP address when you can! Thanks!

Thank you Banjo for sending out my sweet box of fist size so fast. They look great and look forward to IDing them and making some slabs. I may need a little help with ID, still a learning curve for me.
Thanks again Banjo
Sent from my SPH-D710 using proboards
