OK time for a guessing game. I picked up a bunch of slabbettes and cabochon preforms from an old estate collection. The guy apparently really liked green materials because I sorted through all the containers and created the pile you see in the picture below. All of the material could be complete crap or some of it could be jade - or all of it serpentine. I have no idea really. I did see a small amount of Mariposite in the mix - other than that it's just a whole lot of unidentified stuff. The majority of the stuff is cabochon sized slabbettes - much is precut preforms as shown in the picture. I will say that a significant amount of the pile did was not able to be scratched with a steel blade. All of the material fit snuggly in a MFRB. It's possible I put it in containers or bags inside the box, it's possible I didn't - this will be part of the variable of guessing. I will send said MFRB to the winner upon conclusion of the game. Rules (strictly enforced): - Guess the total number of OUNCES of rocks (weighed wet as shown).
- No partial ounces - the total is rounded up to the next whole ounce.
- Closest guess WITHOUT GOING OVER wins.
- Everyone gets five guesses - take them all at once or spread them out makes no difference really because of rule
II V. - No further clues will be given.
- Game starts now and ends promptly at 9pm on Monday 2/13.
- In the event that the EXACT whole ounce answer is guessed I will stop the game and award the prize.
- Edit to add: in the event of a tie the credit will go to the first person who guessed that number
Good luck and have fun
