I received my rocks late yesterday, helped our neighbor rob 3 of her bee hives today so I finally had time to open the package. The rough rocks look great and I should be cabbing some super cabs once I slab it up. I appreciate the extra's too, what are the names of the slabs?
Thanks James...........

Thanks James........... 39don I would have to see the slabs again. I was packing in whatever slabs I had that would fit as extras so there both of you got a variety of different things. |

Look forward to seeing the cabs. I like the dog face in the upper right of the slab.  |

My first cab from the 1st lot of Chrysocolla from Vegasjames........... 39don Looks great. You may find some bright green in some of the pieces. The bright green is not copper but actually silver (bromargyrite, silver bromide). |

Hi, James:
I've avoided temptation long enough! If Lot # 4 is still unclaimed, I'll take that one. Will send you a PM with the usual details.
Nice cabs, Don! Did you use any particular methods to get a good shine?
Thanks,
Jack

Did you use any particular methods to get a good shine? Thanks, Jack Not really but I went the usual steps to 50,000 then Zam. The reds? mixed in with the browns? do not polish at all. I might use some Hxtal to seal it so it will have a even polish all over. 39don |

I might use some Hxtal to seal it so it will have a even polish all over. 39don The browns are primarily limonites (iron oxides/hydroxides), which sometimes do polish pretty good and possibly chlorargyrite (silver chloride), which is also found in the mine with bromargyrite (silver bromide). The bromargyrite stays bright green though. The chlorargyrite starts out bright green but turns brownish-black when exposed to sunlight. |

I wonder why it is that when I purchase something that requires a delivery, I, unwaveringly, order whatever, on the Wednesday "before" a Holiday weekend!!!

Hey, James - I received my shipment yesterday, so that tracking number gave a day later (which would be today). Great material; looks like it will be fun to work with. Many thanks for the bonuses as well!
Thanks for making it available to us.
