The good stuff is hard to come by. A small seam of good stuff was found recently and made it's way to quartzsite this year, the rough was selling for $30/lb.

I heard at one time this was sold as landscape rock.

It's true. most of the stone has been crushed up and used as landscape throughout southern Utah and Nevada. The lapidary quality stuff was quickly depleted and the rest of it is chalky and soft. The mine owner recently exposed a new small vein of the good opalized/silicated stuff and it went to quartzsite this year. I've seen it sold as "Casa Blanca Jasper" on Etsy, as the casa blanca casino in Mesquite NV is landscaped with the stuff LOL... it gets mistaken for tiffany stone quite often too as some of it has very dark purple color.

Very nice stash Brian! I wouldn't be counting on 30 bucks a pound though.

Here is a recently ended eBay auction where 14 pounds went for less than $60. Around 4 bucks a pound.

Slabs are much more expensive, but someone had to slab them. Seems to be the best way to sell.

Dogs are unlimited lines of joyful credit with a payment that comes due all at once.
