fresh montanas & jasper for sale

we've found a few spots on the river that are great for picking jasper. There's an abundance of it as long as the river cooperates and allows us to get to these locations. Its everywhere of course but some spots the the colors are more vibrant, the combination of colors is different etc. Its really fun to pick:)

hi...sorry about the delay in getting back to you. Are you still interested in box? Message me if you are okay? Its nice hearing from you again btw

gotcha...

Looks like they were removed.

Thanks everyone for replying. Where do I go to find a slab saw for sale, if any? If not on here does anyone know a good site to look for used equipment? Hopefully closer to Florida than Oregon!

The PayPal account she uses said Penny.

Most of her 'jasper' is not jasper.

I did get a refund. It wasn't easy.

The black red and grey stuff is jasper. The only reasonably nice material in the box.

The all grey/lavender stuff is mud, and not even remotely attractive.

The orange and blue, mud...

Bob, you are so right. Looks are not enough. Indeed, I was deceived and bought a large flat rate box. They arrived and the the box itself was far too light. Once the stones were in hand, you would have easily known they were mis-represented. I busted a couple of each color to see they crumbled into powder quite easily. The jaspers did as expected. Only broke with great force and then with a simple conchoidal fracture.

I should offer public thanks to Walt manofglass. He too was deceived and was helping her market her mudstone. He was instrumental in helping recover my funds. He ended his relationship with her as well. I do not believe she has posted since my refund. I have not researched this fine point. I did offer her the opportunity to get ahead of this, apologize, offer refund to those who may also have been deceived, and build huge rapport. This fell on deaf ears. Her boyfriend did offer name calling and written abuse instead.

I will respond privately to anyone whom desires further details. I have no ill will to Penny/Wendy. I did receive refund in full, including original postage.








The only attractive stone in her box.

I was working in the spearfish SD area one year and found a pile of rock. I got some great fossils off of it, I also got a huge bag of what I thought was jasper of all colors of the rain bow. When I got home I tried to polish some of it and just like your experience it
turned to mud. Still not sure what it is. I was in the decorative mulch and stone bagging
industry at the time. We had got in some Scoria from out west which is the soil on top of the burning coal seams turning to brick or something of the sort and crushed. This is my guess what I had picked up but in huge chunks. Looks good in the garden though.

Jimi, what is strange is she did end up doing the right thing. She claimed she was unaware of the nature of her stones. I was, seemingly, the first to point this out. I thought if she felt her reputation was important, should could contact each client, give full refund, and then make a public apology. Had she done this, we would all respect her, and she would be a valued seller.

Instead, after doing the right thing, the wrong way, with me, she disappears.

Sad, really. This is a great bunch of folks. Just be honorable and enjoy the fruits.
