Awww Puppie, how I wish I was going with you. What great fun that would be ... 70°
Finding new rocks ... 70° Visiting new friends ... 70° Actually getting to watch someone
saw slabs ... 70° *sigh* Can you tell I'm jealous, won't see 70° here again until next
year sometime ... maybe April if we're lucky. Have fun, hope you find lots and lots
of awesome stones!

Cher, believe me, it isn't normal. I've got tomato plants with some fruit still ripening. The bizarre year of all time.

Today we drove up some seriously spooky roads to a town that doesn't appear on the map. When we got there, there were rocks. But it was getting dark. We picked up a bunch of BIG rocks. These seem to be blue lace agate. That's what was supposed to be there. So.

They are different from the ones from last weekend's site; these are more solid slabs and don't seem to have so much surface-only pattern. We'll see!

Hello Puppies,

Tell you what ...

If you find a stone that looks like it has the potential to cut a descent slab, that offers the possibility to cut a cab ... I'll cut the cab and send it back to you for you to keep.

My way of saying thanks for letting me look at the stones physical properties.

Then when you have tons of this material gathered up ... let me know and if it is cabbable material ... I might get some from you.

Let me know if this is suitable and thanks again for the opportunity!

John

Hey John,
I seem to have multiple types going on, some are heavily quarty/crystalline all over with banded areas, some have a lot of holes and each hole has banding around it, some has layers that seem to go through and sometimes along with surface stuff. Probably what I should do is try to select some variety that resembles the overall mix and you can go from there. What doesn't cab can always tumble!

The overall patterns on the mystery rocks are very similar to the fairburn ones, but the colors are far less dramatic.
