There is some new material called Autumn Hope. It is found in central Oregon and looks like a mix of Misty Mountain, Morrisonite and and Kalidescope Jasper. It is only $5 per lb. I bought 6 lbs but have not worked it yet. I tried to cut it and it is pretty hard. They had several cabs on display and it takes a shine like glass! I will post pics when I have a chance. The booth is about half way back at Desert Gardens!

No I just have lots of material like that found all over Oregon in the summer I go play all over the East and into Nevada. for 10 days in a row sometimes I drive over for the day. I go out now once a month. The heat which keeps most away does not have any effect on me the hotter the better;) I have probably the same stuff or very similar it does cab nice I will have to go out into my stash and see if I can find er. Anyways glad to see that new Oregon stuff is hitting the market. |
