Here's one I cut last week that @shotgunner sold me for free at Quartzsite 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. 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 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 I know! I know!

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. 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. 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!!
