The dino is especially yummy. I wonder if the bird carvings are the ones I saw at the NW federation show 3 or 4 years ago.

Brian, You cleaned up! And the price was a ~~Steal~~ DEAL.

When people talk of certain rocks being no longer available, I have hope that they're just stashed in someone's garage (or truck!).

There's so much stuff in your haul that's to dream about. Bruneau, Rhodochrosite, Dino bone.

Did I see fire obsidian? I'd love to see that close up & in person (& in MY pocket).

I appreciate all the comments everyone! It's an overwhelming lot and I've barely had the time to go through it. I've mentioned before that when (and if) I retire we hope to go mobile and hit the rock shows. And yes my better half is on board with the idea lol. Of course there's no guarantees in life, and as geezer mentioned there could just as likely be a big estate sale here instead

@shotgunner give me some time and we'll work out an arrangement on the spheres. None are polished, I really have no way to finish them.

Rockoonz This lot hasn't seen the light of day for over 20 years, the birds you seen would have been from another vendor.

zarguy yes that's fire obsidian. I've found a couple more pieces since then
