Last weekend we went to the Roseville, CA show to display our case. I shopped a meager bit and found these things. The slab on the left is a Fancy Jasper/Bloodstone, top center - Agua Nueva, right - Crazy Lace, Bottom - Psilomelane. The dealer friend of mine had 4 - 5" by 6" slabs of the Agua Nueva that he had to beg the seller to get them and they were super slabs but they had some druzy vugs that were too close to the edges for me. I didn't ask the price but I'm guessing $100 per slab. The piece that I got was $20. Top piece was some kind of moss with druzy vugs. I'm hoping to get them to clean up. The slab was 3/4" thick so I can possibly get three slabs from it. It was $3. The bottom is some kind of softer material with dendrites that I plan to cover with a Quartz cap. A fist sized Moss Agate for $4. The seller called this material "Golden Picture Rock". He dug it himself and wasn't saying where. I asked if he had a website and he said he was going to retire soon an he was thinking about that kind of stuff. I asked him if he had any contact info and he gave me his phone number. He said his name was "John" and he was from Reno. I asked if he was going to be at any other shows and he said no.... Bob

Nice! Really like the pastoral scene framed with trees in the dendrite in the second pic. Nice choices!
