I have accumulated a medium flat rater of already cut to tumbling size, or just a bit bigger than tumbling size, for anyone out there who doesn't have a big saw but wants to do some tumbling/cabbing. This is material that for whatever reason I'm not ever going to cut. Some of it is stuff I'm not really into (chevron amethyst, orpiment on gypsum) and some of it probably there's going to be a lot of waste by the time you cut off the pitted areas. I gave it a light spritz with the water bottle to give you an idea. The light material with orange spots on it is the orpiment on gypsum, take special cutting that stuff, it's hazardous (a pretty arsenic ore, I gather). I only ship by Priority Mail so a package this size is US shipping only. Paypal payments only. I need space but won't be able to price any lower because of Paypal and shipping costs so I hope you understand. Let me know if you need more photos and I'm happy to try. Any questions let me know. I only ship once or twice a week so if for some reason you're in a hurry, then please let me know. Otherwise I will probably only ship on Monday or on Friday of the upcoming week. Thanks.  |

The orpiment on gypsum didn't photograph well in the group shot, here's a picture of one of the pieces. Pretty stuff but soft and demands to be cut with respirator etc. Be careful!  |

Oh, there's a clothespin in the top picture for scale. Also, the box now weighs 19 pounds...priority mail shipping alone is almost $13 plus paypal fee so the cost of the rock is pennies a pound. Just the one box and unlikely to be more any time soon since it took about three years to accumulate the odds and ends of this one. Most of my cutting rough is a little larger.

I'm so glad it finally got there. I'm afraid your box is the one I was grumbling about in the post office thread! They told me it would be delivered to you on Friday. I'm so glad you have it now anyways... :-)
