For rates: we have a couple grades of agates so we'll price accordingly. I'll get a price list sheet up asap.  |

Hey Rockjunquie question for you... You mentioned you wanted to know the cost for sm and med frb of slabs would be. Are you saying it doesn't matter what each slab looks like and for Steve and I to pick them? I'm slightly confused lol We can definitely do that however we don't have a set price per slab. Some are worth more than others due to color, design etc. Each slab would be priced accordingly,totalled up and shipped. You said you'd like the top grade correct? There's roughly 16 slabs per lb

There's roughly 16 slabs per lb A lot of times, people on this board will fill a box and then post pictures of what goes in it along with a price and then it is first come first serve. I guess I was suggesting that you could fill boxes with a particular grade and then charge accordingly. It's all up to you, of course. Ii was just thinking aloud. I like to get sfrb. I'm on the East Coast, so I try to save on shipping. I also like to buy the best quality. So, if you filled a sfrb with your best grade slabs at 9 a lb (or whatever) + shipping, that would be awesome. I've seen your "good stuff" and I know I want some. |

Those prices have to be for rough, not slabbed material. No one could sell slabs at that price.

Idk if you happen to see the tread I started Montana agate slabs for sale... If not, please check it out, see what you think and any feedback is very much appreciated. We thought for now it would be easiest for us to put together groups of slabs and sell the group as a whole. Our reasoning being 1. This is new for us and with anything new comes (doable) confusion 2. We've got a good supply of slabs, much of that we'd consider to be top grade and selling them by the pound isn't worth it for us. The groups I've got put together so far are sold as a group. Each group has (I hope) a variety of colors and design & we priced it accordingly. Once we get things rolling we may change how we price the slabs. We will do our best to give yall an excellent selection to choose from. We've got so much more to share with everyone, it's a little overwhelming. Please please let me know your thoughts, what you think about the groups we've got and I'm also curious about pricing. Thank you in advance |

It wouldn't be so bad had we a limited amount but that's not the case plus we want to be able to give everyone quality stuff and have a constant supply. So yeah... It's gonna fun anyway ya look at it  ) |

One other thing worth mentioning is that many (most?) here are used to paying for rock purchases using Paypal. If you don't have a Paypal account already, I would recommend setting one up. Having folks pay using the "gift" option avoids the Paypal fees. Your being new here and selling will raise a few eyebrows. Figured I'd mention that because someone is bound to. Not "normal" for folks to join and start selling in such a short period of time. If you seriously want to move that pile of rock, get a few completed transactions under your belt with your buyers responding that all went smoothly and the flood gates should open! Nice looking shop and impressive rock pile ya got! it certainly is. This is where I'm fortunate enough to hangout, play with rocks and have some good laughs. My good Friend Steve is the owner, caregiver and guardian. He's a rockhound extremist lol |

But what about rough that hasn't been cut at all? Like the Brazilians I've sold, I want to be surprised. I hardly ever buy rough that's been cut because I feel it takes away from how I would cut it.
Any unadulterated rough for sale?
