While Brain and Casey were busy HIGH Grading slabs and rough, I was looking for sphere material. Apparently I should have followed them closer.  Per Beef's request I moved the palm and dino to the top.  Dino and palm.  Some of the cubes, copper minerals, and various jasper's.  A nice crate full of preforms, I could not pass on this.  Some snow flakes and rhodo's  Some Biggs, stone cyn, burro creek, chryso and crazy lace.  And a few more misc.  I have got enough preforms to keep me busy for the next several years. I think I may have over did it.  Thanks for looking. Tim |

I believe the red dots are there for an indication when it is trued up, the red will highlight the flat spots.
I agree that some one put an incredible amount of time in preforming these, it would take me several hours to do just one of them. At a price of $2/each I could not pass it up, there should be enough material here to last me several years or until I am sick of spheres.

OK, so that is the lot of preforms you mentioned. I saw this image and immediately thought what is that material and how did he so perfectly center the red parts??? Then I kept looking and realized he used some red to make the low spots. At that price I woulda bought every one he had, I'll bet you did too! PM me if ya wanna sell some of those. |

It sure was a great trip and I think everyone is still in a state of shock at the quantity and quality of the stuff there. Brian sure has a knack about finding the good stuff but with the amount of material available the only real problem is limiting what you want.

maybe the guy was playing rock craps?
those look like Fred Flintstone's dice
you could roll some my way
then I could say
I must be in the front row
was this estate sale the one you went to earlier
out in queen creek?
and Tim did I ever buy Apache gold from you
at the Flagg show
a few years ago?
Thanks
Ed

Yabba Dabba Doooo. Rolling them Dice!!!!! (Actually turning) :-)
Ed, I don't believe that we have ever met. I have not sold at the Flagg show, but I might this year, I have a bunch of tumblers and misc. equipment I need to get gone.
This is the same estate sale that I have posted in the past, it looks like round 4 will be in Oct. Need to start saving and making room.
