Here's a few more from the show in Mesa last weekend. Picked up a couple cut Botswanas   and a chunk of Marfa Plume  should cut a couple nice slabs for cabs  also another one I picked up quite a while back but never showed here. Nice faced botryoidal piece   Thanks for looking  |

Nice, those Botswana nodules are great. That botryoidal stuff, any value in soaking it in acid to get the white caliche to dissolve off the chalcedony? (unless of course you like the white, then nevermind! |

Thanks guys! herchenx I hadn't really thought about trying to dissolve the white.. and actually yeah I kinda like it that way darrad yeah me too, especially the lower one. Paid $5 for both split stones, felt it was a fair deal.  |
