Someone's been busy. Looks like fun time!
The 8th picture looks like some pretty nice Indian Blanket jasper. Let's see closeups of the cabs when you're done.

It is indeed Indian Blanket. I quarried this myself at the site in Enterprise, Utah. My friend was tight with the site owner and I came home with about 50+ Lbs.

That's a good place to start. The opal butte (#1) looks lovely.
Also the purple material in #6. What would that be?

I am a little mind-numbed at the overall assortment of what appears to be some really select material. That Rhodochrosite for instance is an eye catcher.

Dito the compliments. Looking forward to your cut gems. Port of Miami has a lot of lapidary agates coming in. Used to know of some suppliers there. I used to buy on occasion from this supplier, prices have risen since(animal parts kind of scary) www.artbygod.com/rocks--minerals.html |
