I am going to be selling all my turquoise rough, slabs and preforms, alng with all my other lapidary rock. Any interest here? Ebay just screwed me out of $140, so I'm done posting there....
Thanks
Oh... for photos, do we still need to use photobucket or can we now attach photos here?

Do you have any slabs?
Yes, you still have to host your images.

I'm onto some big amazonite at a fair price.
Perhaps other stuff too.

Looks familiar  Many of mine were thick enough to split and back yielding two cabs. Should have some of them done later this week. I'm waiting on the Morenci  |

Yes, we still need to use photobucket or similar. And yes I could be interested in some material, particularly the blue stuff. |

wow, lots of replies, thanks, and lots of questions...
Why am I selling everything? health problems. macular degeneration stage 3 and progressing, losing my hearing, just not into it anymore.
Selling the turquoise now, and once I start digging in the garage, other stuff as I run across it.
yes, will always post pics.
ebay? long story made short. Sold some turquoise to a guy in India. 7 days later (ebay wait time policy) he said didn't get it. (Duh! takes 2 months to get to India!) Ebay refunded him 100% even tho I had proof I shipped and it was in Indian Customs.... SO, buyer got a lot of turquoise, and his money refunded, and I got the shaft from ebay. When I asked for resolution, they told me too bad....
Wildhorse.. uncle billy asked first, so will take and post picture when it isn't freezing in my garage, and he has first dibs on the slabs and chunks.
Amazonite... I know where it is, it's under everything else.... will post everything as I get to it. But for now, I've got turquoise ready to go. One thing at a time, you know? Or I get confused.. (grin).
Will probably end up finding some lapidary hand tools too..... I know they're out there......somewhere.
Right now that pic above is 1/2 pound, and it's only $65 for all of it. Some of those slabs will make a cab worth that much alone if not more... have a pic of it polished up somewhere... will post if I can find it and get it on photobucket.
Again, thanks all!

Phil, what was the ebay guy's handle Don't want to post that kind of info as I blame it on India's mail system. Just be careful if you do business overseas. I've changed my ebay profile to exclude all overseas buyers. Yeah, I lose sales, but as I make so very little profit on my stuff, one big hit like that can wipe out a LOT of sales profits. As soon as I'm done selling off my rocks, I'm done with ebay. |

I never had problems although they take a nice chunk out of sales over 1,000$, or any amout for that matter. PM me and we'll work something out. I have packages as small as 1/4 pound for $35, already slabbed. Same material. |
