Some agate, what you see in the photos is what you'll receive. MFRB= a little over 20 pounds. Here's the Box packed  Here's the contents- WET  A few close-ups of contents-     Here's a few Chalcedony pieces I tumble/Polished. I'm including them in the MFRB as a reference.  This lovely assortment can be YOURS for only $55.00, and that INCLUDES shipping! What a deal!!! PayPal only, lower 48 U.S. only. 1st to P.M. me with billing info gets it. I'll invoice you then, and once payment is confirmed, I'll ship within 5 days. I only go to the P.O. about once a week, so patience, please, I'll email the Tracking number once shipped.

Priority mail goes to all states at same cost. Why CONUS only?
Just curious. I see this all the time and can't figger a reason for leaving the good folks of Hawaii and Alaska out of the sale.

Shotgunner- I see this all the time also, just figured that was a surcharge for AK & HI. So, let's test the system and open it to ALL 50 STATES! Same price.

Hawaii is pretty strict on bringing things in so they may worry about fungus, lichens, bugs, etc. coming in on the rocks. That would not be the reason, but just another issue with shipping to Hawaii |

No, just wanting you to show me I can't pass these up! I've spent too much on rocks this month, but I'm very tempted...

I'm sure someone will chime in if the following statement is false. Typically, Chalcedony roses (shown tumbled above)are carved or tumbled or both, not cut per se. Bots are the same way. That said, I cut a white bot, shown here, before and after- after is photo underwater.  and after- cut in half lengthwise-  This piece I sliced in 1/4" pieces, for earrings or a pendant- kinda fiery!  after  These were photoed dry  I hope these meet your expectations, verhexen, if not, maybe you can describe to me in a PM what you're looking for and what size saw you have. |

I think I forgot to mention that this lot also contains some coral, and possible facet material.
