Test pull, these in AO 500 almost ready for polish. Three views of a well healed palm, hard hard material, ahead of most of the varieties in getting a shine. End grain: Another palm, lots of fill on the other sides, very well healed, already shiny: A softer stone, still needing time in AO 500..focus off Sagenite ?? Is this the one you were curious about txrockhunter ? Nice naturally rounded pebbles shaving tumble time way down. Most are 1.5 to 2 inches. Only 5 weeks in coarse, thin patina, lack of fractures, gimmee 100 more pounds. El primo tumble material. Best I ever had. I remember this offer, everyone should have said this is a perfect price LOL: Wow!!!!! I did not expect that kind of response, to that post!!! I feel very blessed to have this resource, so close to home..... I had never thought about selling any of my finds, but recouping some of my expenses, to help fulfill the needs of fellow Rockhounds, would be ok! I have no idea what to sell this for? ? would $10 for a large FRB, be fair? I would be willing to swap material from your area.

Yes, I sent you some select material, but that's some pretty high praise! Thanks for that! That is the Sagenite that I was talking about. I have found a variety of different colors and needle sizes, and was curious to see what that one was going to look like! I haven't had any that have had a crust on them, so I had to wait and see the results. I am kinda fascinated with these rocks...not too much information on identifying the different inclusions. This link is the most information I have found Sagenite I really appreciate post and can't wait to see the rest of the batch!!!!!! Jeremy

Beautiful Stuff with the JAMESP touch! Winning formula! These practically polish by looking at them Ian. Nice hard stuff. The Rios have a deeper white patina on them; it takes a while to grind this patina off. Pretty sure it is sun burn or chemicals in the soil. Coral and chert here in Georgia gets a similar white patina on arrowheads. So the patina can be dated to some degree.
