About a month ago, I bought a flat rater from Jamie. (desertdweller) I showed some pics of what she sent & started my tumbling batch of chrysocolla, happy as a clam!
On friday, I received a NEW box. She wasn't happy with the supposed "quality" of what I received. Take a look guys...

original slabs.

one batch of tumbling rough.

second batch of smaller tumbling rough.
This is the stuff she didn't like! (plus, I am the one that broke the corner of the one slab...it didn't happen in shipping.)
The next batch of pics are what she sent to make up for the "not so good box."

New batch of tumbling rough & 2 new slabs.

Hopefully Jamie will tell me what these are. I think the one at 3 o'clock is a nice hunk of malachite/chrysocola. Not sure what the one above that is but it's got a really nice covering of an avocado green all over it...but it's also got a smattering of nicely shaped crystals all over.

This pic - 11 o'clock is a pretty piece of pyrite?

I have no clue other than it's got an orbicular pattern through it!

Here, I wanted to show closeup. Jamie...on the red rock, is that another one w/pyrite on it? or something else like a galena?

I posted all these pics to show just what kind of a vendor Jamie really is. In fact...she's not really very good! ;D ;D ;D If she were more concerned about her profit, she'd have NEVER sent the second box!
Thank You very much Jamie! Nothin but first class with you!

HI Liz, Thanks for the nice compliment.
The green rock is epidote crystals, the white, milky colored rocks are just plates of druzy and the reddish sparkly rocks are hematite specimens but they might tumble, I have never tried but if you didn't want to tumble them..........They are just pretty to look at.

Thanks again for the nice post.

Doesn't surprize me. Her and I made a trade and she sent me a second box because she didn't think that she sent enough. lol...everytime that I send her more stuff to catch up, she sends something else. I should just keep sending stuff to see what she'll send next. ;D (kidding darlin)

Liz, that is orbicular rhyolite.
Ha ha Randy, that isn't exactly how things happened, you forgot to mention that you tumbled stuff for me and that you sent 3 packages with pendants in them plus some nice slabs. Now, when you get this last box, that should be the end of our trade.....Right? The fire agates are in the box that is on its way.
