Putting the price side up is cruel! The only dollar rocks around here come in a gravel truck($1.00 each almost). Seriously nice going on having good timing and good luck!

Remind me to wire you about 50.00 so next time you here about a ale you can just send me some of those great deals!!! The only piece of the man made stuff I really like and want to try is the one you don't have... Obsidian w/Bronze!! But then again, at the prices you paid, especially for the K2!!, I'd grab all those too if it were me!!
Gratz in another nice haul bro!!

Kap this kills me too!!!! When I moved to eastern Carolina they told me it was ally sand or sandy dirt here with no rocks! Matter of fact its a common statement here that if you want to throw a rock at something you had better of brought one with you!!!!

Brian does it again! I'm really glad you and Tim don't live any closer to me than the next state over. I wouldn't have a chance of getting any good stuff at rock sales!
Nice choices, Beef. I think you may be partial to blues? Some killa stuff!

Gorgeous slabs, Beef! I was gonna ask if the ones in the last pic have bronze in them, but I think Mario commented that they have bronze in them. ? Lookin' forward to seeing these cabbed! How do you polish the material with bronze in them?

The prices kill me! Chances are, you will be able to recoup your investment. Too bad the price of gas is so high, or we would all be at the garage sale.

How do you polish the material with bronze in them? It works and polishes like any other stone, I don't think the bronze is that soft, but like everything else there has to be a learning curve to it. Most if not all the stones that you will see used in that stuff are fairly soft to begin with, like turquoise & obsidian, so shouldn't be any large soft areas to worry about. The really high end version of that stuff, if you can find it is made with real silver or gold... and I have only seen 1 slab of it with gold, 4x4 inches square and there was no price on it... guy said "if you have to ask, you can't afford it!!" and then turned down an offer of $300.00 for it, said "I can get more than that if I melt the gold out of it!!" I walked away at that point.
