These are some slabs and a few other things that I bought for $1 per slab from my local rock shop guy (who is basically selling them to me for what he paid)

Total slabs is 182

I will probably get a few more from the guy sooner than later so I basically never have to run out of nice stuff any time soon

This is most of the slabs but I am leaving out some of the deuplicates

I can really use help to Id some and putting locations on most of them if your willing to help (some of them I know that were written on).

Yeah, he gave me a great deal being that he has a lot of them. Also he said that since I don't have an ATV I can use his if I go with him hounding so now I should be able to get really nice stuff! (although I have to be really picky because you can only carry soo much back on an atv.. Everything I pick up I will have to have cabbing or specimen in mind)

I'll go and get a few more pieces today probably.

He just brought in a lot of more slabs of stuff along with some other stuff just for me, I haven't counted all the stuff but I got a very good deal, I got 130+ slabs of really awesome stuff for $130, bag of turquoise and stuff for $23, and a bag of scraps that can be made into cabs for $20.

I'll post pictures later (when I can sneak it in my house). These prices are far better than Tuscon pricing for the most part. He has more that i'll pick up at a later time (maybe next week.

I probably won't be buying much stuff from other people any time soon.

Holy crap, that's a bunch of good stuff. I think your Mook is actually Mexican Imperial Jasper and your dino bone stuff in pic 32 is actually Mexican Palm Jasper which is actually not palm but a form of sagenite. #70 is Green Tree agate....Mel

I updated with the rest of the slabs... I also got a bag of usable scrap for $20 but I won't put those pics up unless I find something really good (I put a few things up that was in that bag.

Thanks for the info Sabre

I will probably get more stuff next week. He is holding the stuff for me. Theres a really nice piece of dino bone towards the bottom.. So nice I don't think I can cut it yet.

This is really going to help me get started

Thanks for the info guys, I have a feeling that I will be buying a lot from this guy (maybe all the slabs he has). I know that I probably won't get another deal like this again or at least by anyone else. Some of the slabs you can see the prices the original owner probably paid, this guy also knows what the values of these things are so it is not valuing these low because of a lack of knowledge, he is just being really nice while still making a small profit.

I belive adventurine is the correct type for 52, but it has some special name because (i guess) that design is hard to come by.

It's hard to photograph greens well, so I can't say for sure, but that looks more like chrysoprase than mtorolite. Mtorolite has a deeper hue, almost emerald green, due to the Chromium (versus nickel for chrysoprase).

Pietersite, Malachite, Mtorolite, Lapis, Stichtite, etc.
