These are some "slabettes" I cut from some of the material I collected while at Quartzsite this year. I only have a 7" tile saw that I store at my mom's so I can't cut very big pieces. I was itching to see what was in some of the material I found so I dusted the cobwebs off the saw and had at it. A few of the pieces from Burro Creek, AZ close ups of some of the Burro Creek material Some purple in this but may fade to grey, only time will tell, I hope not though. This one is really cool with purple and white swirls but unfortunately it is really crumbly so probably wouldn't hold up to cabbing. This one is a light purple but will probably fade to grey since it is already so light. Cool brecciated material with light purple inside. This is darker purple with dendrites. Another little purple one. Also cut some Brenda material we got on the RTH trip this year. Sorry about the cruddy pictures but my camera is goofing up and I couldn't get a decent picture of anything with it.

Nice stuff there, Dianne. Someday I hope to get to Burro Creek if only to say I've been there. When will you be starting the trek north?
