I've got a bunch of rough, but no saw for cutting. My homeboy, Mark marinedad stepped up to help a brutha out. Here are some highlights. Picture jasper:  Fancy jasper, plasma agate and some chapenite I acquired from <'))))>< Fish Dr DG:  A bit of crazy lace and a geode filled with blue-tinted agate:  Mystery material. Anyone have any idea? I'm not aware of the origin, but I think it might be some sort of Texas/North Mexico moss agate. Some parts are translucent but other parts dense and opaque.   Green moss agate:  |

What he ^ said. The blue in the picture jasper in the first photo is the most intense I've seen.

I don't have the equipment to make cabs (yet). I think this forum is kind of a bad influence. I started off as just a rock/mineral collector. Then I found RTS and started tumbling. Then one tumbler became three tumblers. Now i'm thinking about buying a saw or vibrating lap. Maybe next year, I'll be making cabs, wire wrapping and have my own Etsy store. |
