Here's one I cut last week that @shotgunner sold me for free at Quartzsite ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/beefjello/slabs/IMG_3998_zps908c1d39.jpg) Bad pics as the broad orange area is so much more vivid.. should have did shaded pics rather than full sun. Although more vivid that area is also a bit pitted. Much more solid above and from the black and yellow bands below. ![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/beefjello/slabs/IMG_4002_zps7944ce5c.jpg) Thanks again Scott!

That may be the best free rock I ever sold! lol
It certainly is far nicer than I expected.
It went to a good home. Awesome.

I love that material! I was hoping Shotgunner would have more to "sell" to me -- even for money!

I love that material! I was hoping Shotgunner would have more to "sell" to me -- even for money! That was a "box filler" gift from J2B2 on ebay. I bought a truly spectacular box of stuff from them some time ago and they tossed in that one hunk of BBee to maximize my postage. jamesp - I mights effed up, but that hunk was small for me and perfect for my buddy beef. I think we all won on that one! Free rocks - gotta love it. The best sale I ever made, selling free rocks! lol

Awesome slabs! Love that rock species. One thing, though - Please do remember to wear a good mask when you cut or cab this stuff because it contains a fair amount of arsenic. And wash your hands of dust, too. Not good to have in your lungs or to ingest. C-ya, Rick

That would be perfect for Mrmohs's disgruntled postal customer! Combine that with some old stock lace agate for a heart and you get Arsenic and old lace ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) I know! I know! ![](http://www.smileyvault.com/albums/signs/smiley-vault-signs-074.gif)

I have to find a rock deler that specializes in selling "FREE ROCKS". LOL Stu I'm not much of a dealer. It cost me over $200 to sell all those free rocks. lol My goal was to have less rocks. I failed at that too. I came home with three crates of stuff. And some of THAT cost me money too. Me thinks I need to re-thinks this business plan. ![(insane)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/sjMRQMtnaKnKaqKFYToi.gif) I wish upon a star That others who got free rocks Will post pics of their stuff They know whom they are.

I've been threatening to pick up a couple of slabs of Bumblebee and make a few cabs, but haven't found any decent material at a decent price. Most I have seen has been short on pattern and long on pits

Indeed.. not only is Scott a gentleman and a scholar, but he's also generous to a fault. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I would like to see some other slabbed up rocks you sold for free as well rykk thanks for the info on the arsenic content, and thanks all for the comments!!
