All self collected - Box A is priced at $35.00 Box B is priced at $40.00 - All I got to do is secure the boxes with duct tape that I'll have to go buy(stuffed box space with cardboard to prevent thrashing). Geodes/nodules from southern Kentucky Rockcastle/Lincoln countes. The california petrified wood from Imperial county comes in a small flat rate box loaded into the medium flat rate box. Here is an example of type of petrified wood I will load into each box MFLR box(top middle piece was tumble polished):  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Box A: Item 1A  Item 2A  Item 3A  Item 4A(chalcedony and quartz)  Item 5A  Item 6A(botryoidal chalcedony)  Item 7A  Item 8A and 9A are two separate boxes of southern California petrified wood, *some pieces in the boxes may be filler and not petrified wood. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Box B: Item 1B(some sort chalcedony with inclusions?)  Item 2B  Item 3B  Item 4B  Item 5B(no picture, geode, fist size, unopened) Item 6B is a SMFR box full of southern California petrified wood, *some pieces in the boxmay be filler and not petrified wood. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

IMHO, if you're gonna try to sell something, anything on line- it's important to show that item in it's best light. Please don't take the following criticisms personally; I'm a retired commercial photographer and posting out-of-focus pics is a pet peeve of mine.
Posting Out-of-focus pictures show the seller to be a)lazy, b) lackadaisical (as in I don't care enough to make sure my pics are in focus). c} Blind, drunk or blind drunk when photo was taken, or d) Have a crappy camera and don't know what an "in focus" picture looks like. e} There are just some folks out there that should never be given a camera, period. I'm sure there are other reasons. Point is, there's no crime in taking crappy photos, posting out-of-focus pics= a misdemeanor; Posting an out-of-focus pic to sell something- FELONY. NO SALE! If you're interested in taking better photos, there's plenty of tutorials on line. Also, sometimes out-of-focus pics are actually the result of camera shake or subject movement. A tripod is your best friend when taking close-ups. Subject moves when handheld. Place on stationary,(non-moving)surface. Using flash will help "freeze" subject motion, but may produce other problems (ie.-unwanted reflections, areas too light or too dark) When camera AND subject are stationary, photo quality should increase dramatically. Good Lock!

I plan on refining my photography skills when I'm able to buy a memory card for the Fujifilm T555 camera gifted to me by james.
Rockoonz, I'm getting to that.

Scott wasn't able to seal the deal, sadly. I must clarify I will take a money order for payment, that's all--for now.
Box B is still up for grabs. Even I don't know what's in the geodes. I could pack more geodes but lets not risk the structural support of the box being weighted down.

College is trade school for many professions. But the USA has a huge need for welders and other hands on jobs. Many kids are better served by learning a skill such as welding. Adam you seem to be the kind of guy that doesn't mind a little physical effort that doesn't enjoy an academic classroom setting. Consider looking into a trade. profoundlydisconnected.com |

My box arrived today. I will blame Rockoonz for the delay. Sorry Lee! As promised I have 4 geodes/nodules and a pile of miscellaneous California stuff. adam I should have told you to keep the Cali stuff. I have that! Adam are these geodes like Garage Rocker has showed us? From the same general localities? Your tripod is on the way as soon as I finish a box for another member. |

@shotgunner, I believe the geodes he's collected are from a couple counties west of where I've been hounding.

Mostly quartz inside the big geodes. If you can shake and hear a rattle inside, definitely quartz. Agate is pretty rare and when it does form in my area, the agate is not very thick, quite botryoidal and bubbly. Farther east though are nodules full of agate. I just don't have a ride to get there and back.
I'm running out of room for my collection. I'll need a warehouse in the coming years... or something.
