eBay seller rockin-in-oregon

Some nice stuff, thanks for the tip.

I've bought from them and also met them personally while over there. Dave definitely seems more interested in getting good rocks out than making a huge profit. He's also a fun guy to run into and just bs about rocks. You should see the collection there- estate purchases and their own collecting- I have them on my short list to ask when I'm looking for anything, because it'll be a long time before some of everything gets listed for sale. I think he's the only one selling the 'Oregon jade' and 'thunderstorm' jaspers I posted about in the ID forum. They also get some really cool rocks that aren't labeled in estate collections, and things that don't even have names because they probably won't or can't be collected again.

I too, totally concur on this seller. I originally saw this thread by Wades a couple weeks ago, and then saw the seller selling killer plumes jasper called Plomosa Mtn Plume. I worked with him on the actaully locallity, becasue his story was to common. And found he had missed spelled the name and totally fixed it right away. Very commintive and was very impressed with the cabochons i cut from the rough. Which i had slab it all up, but this past weekend i won a 7pounder of it from him for a high price. But it was more than worth it, and once i fix my speed controller on my slab saw. i will post photos of the slabs in the comming weeks.

Very Nice guy and has great materials at fair prices. That orbing Thunderstorm jasper is qiue odd stuff too!

Another postive feedback -- won a few items from this seller, always happy.

I have bought a LOT of stuff from Dave Paguio, half a garage full maybe. Last winter ,I believe he wound up with about 3/4 ths. of my weekly allowance. he has a great selection of material and I really have no idea how he manages to get everything together each week as he pretty much runs a one man show. The last couple weeks he's introduced some new things
that just came in. Jasper and some really nice agate material. I made some cabs from the Thunderstorm Jasper he sent and that stuff does polish. A lot of the darker pieces have what looks like wire gold threads scattered through out the stone .You can't make it out real well until you get toward the final polish stage. Then it jumps right out. I also received some of the green jade , had light green dark green ,and grey and white bands with small grey lightening bolts going through at an angle. ( Sounds like I been out in the garage smokin with the neighbor kid again ) It took an awfully long time to get it rough ground , had to stop and stare at it every minute or so. Pattern is just facinating. Would like to post a pic. when its finished ,IF one of the grand kids will be kind enough to show me how. Anyway ,getting back to Dave. If anyone told me personally , that they had a problem dealing with him I would probably suspect that they had to work up a real good sweat CAUSING it.
No, I am not a highly paid press agent working for Western Oregon, but if anyone got a look at the shipping labels on all the boxes on the shelves in my basement, they might think I was a close realitive .
Dave is definately TOP SHELF in my book.
