Fantastic score! The Bloody Basin alone is worth a lot. That first chalcedony hunk may be fire agate, and the gem silica and Priday plume go for huge prices. You done real fine indeed!.....Mel

Every time I read one of your posts, I think that was the "Score of the Century". However, it seams that you continue to out do yourself with every new score. Do you ever have a bad day at the auction?

Thanks a bunch everyone! I've been blessed to be at the right place at the right time more than once as far as lapidary scores go. I'm sure being in close proximity to both the Quartzsite and Tucson shows has a lot to do with it. Still in awe of this material. I forgot to post one of the pics..  Such beautiful stuff  |

That unidentified mineral is Variscite! Looks like it's from the Little Green Monster mine, too. That top chunk is gorgeous!
