and made a HAUL!
I got some leopard skin jasper, a big chunk of purple imperal jasper, 1lb+ of parrot wing (that stuff is BEAUTIFUL! and expensive $15.00/lb - $7.50 on sale), rainbox obsidian and a bunch of agates.
Barbara got sodalite, bloodstone, some mook, and a bunch of agates.
I am mad though! We filled our buckets, then decided we needed to sort through them and maybe put back some of what we picked up. I debated with myself on this one piece and ended up putting it back. Barbara picked it up and ended up buying it and IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! BooHoo! I threw it away and she got it!
Anyhoo, we had a good day at the rock shop.

And from what I understand, you will tumble it in, oh, saayy...2010, give or take? ;D
Sounds like a great haul. Can you post pics of the rough? I'd like to see what the parrot wing looks like. Even the name sounds beatiful.

I had my digital camera with me. Took it so I could take pics of the rocks I bought, then write down what there were - and left it in the truck the whole day. Don't know what dang good it does to have a nifty digital camera when I can't ever remember to USE IT!! Going to Barbara's tomorrow so we can cut more rocks, will try to remember to take some pics with it instead of just putting it in the truck and driving it around with me!

Does picture rock fall into the same category with "a bunch of agates"? I got a few cool pieces of that. As a matter of fact, the piece that Llana put back that I got is picture rock. Although, until she told me, I didn't realize that she had picked that one up and then decided against it. I made one cut in that one this evening and it is absolutely beautiful! I'll hafta see if Llana will take a pic of that one and post it for me tomorrow!
We really did come home with a bunch of great rocks. And yes, Cookie, it will prob be sometime around 2010 or so b-4 we can get around to tumbling what we got today. We just GOTTA quit buying ROCKS ! (Do ya think that maybe we need help?)

Kim. do share you wisdom on the leopard skin! I got a really nice chunk of it and I sure would hate to screw it up. I have decided I am going to tumble it by itself. Other than that, I have no idea how to make it come out right! I also got some Unalike (?) or something like that. Didn't you do some of that not too long ago? If so, reveal your secrets for that one too!
John, the parrot wing is beautiful. Has green, purple and a number of other colors in it. I want to cut some nice slabs and also tumble some of it.
The picture rock I put back and Barbara got is REALLY, REALLY pretty!
I will take some pics tomorrow. Course, ya'll will all be jealous and hate us because of our beautiful new rocks! ;D

Good deal! I'm glad you 2 made a sweet haul like that. Can't wait to see some pics. It is kind of sad though llana, that BE tricked you into giving up that beautiful picturestone so she could snatch it up ;D. Rocks are like gold to us, don't trust anyone...watch your back. Hehe. BE, ya know I'm just teasin...right?

John, The 'Llana cast-off' has alot more color than your pic. I also picked up another one that I cut last night. It didn't have any previous breaks or cuts in it. I just wanted one that no one else had seen inside. And the colors in that one, too, are AMAZING! Can't wait for you all to see them! NO trickery involved, Don! Guess I just got lucky! BE
