Howdy folks, Saw Maddy, the youngest of the pebblepups at a BBQ on Monday. Gave her a beautiful Spanish Point Dendritic Agate pendant Jim (Wampidy) had sent me. She was very tickled Jim! Anyway seeing her reminded me I've been very remiss in my duty to sell Rio Grande agate for the kiddoes. Just too much rain and too many dang chiggers in the rock pile. Anyway, I had a break between storms this AM so I sorted out three boxes of nice Rio material to sell for the kids. All pics are taken dry. Each box is 20+ pounds and price includes med flat rate shipping in the US. First PM on each gets it. Thanks.....Mel Box #1 Really nice tumbling material. Multiple colors and patterns. Includes moss, orbs, a little plume. Some of the nicest tumbling stuff I've had come in. Most will need to be broken or trimmed for the tumbler $45  Box #2 This is a really nice selection. Lots of reds and fancy patterns. Smaller nodules and a few chunks. Should be able to cut these on a six -eight inch saw to make nice one cab wonder slabs....$55  And finally 10 inch sized saw nodule mix. Good selection of colors and patterns, mainly moss agate.....$65  |

Funny thing is my husband was just talking about me having too many rocks (again) and that I will never be able to polish them all, so I don't need anymore. I told him not to take away my happiness...lol. Then I went on my phone to look at the forum and saw Mel's post and bought the box. I think I'm a rocka-shop-aholic. I just can't help myself. Andrea |

Too many rocks?
Is there such a thing?
Seriously we are trying to keep it under a couple tons.
We'll see how that works out.

Box 1 arrived yesterday but didn't get a chance to look at it til this morning. I wet and looked at every piece and they are AWESOME!! Some of them got my heart pounding...lol. I pulled out a few of the smaller ones and will put them in a barrel next clean out. I will cut the bigger ones and may even try to tumble a few of the larger ones whole and see what happens. Thank you Mel!!
Andrea

You don't need anymore...Right

Woo Hoo, my box arrived today. I've only wetted & looked at a few, but I see a cutters orgasm in there. Lots of moss & a few that may produce orbs.
Thanks Mel, and thank those kids for me too. Great to know that there are still kids who are learning that a little hard work produces rewards.
