Hi all, the de-stash continues. MEDIUM flat rate box of rough and faced rough Buy it now - claim it in the comments $100 freight included$75 freight included$65 freight included Paypal only This box features a beautiful chunk of Turkish Lace agate with a clump of purple amethyst crystals on the outside. From a lapidary standpoint I never knew really if anything could be done with the amethyst but I might have limited the possibilities by already from cutting on the rock a couple of times. Also included in the box is a piece of Top Notch agate of unknown quality - quite frankly most of what I brought home from TN was crap but this piece was far and away the best looking and I was holding off on cutting it. Complete Box Contains: Turkish Lace agate (faced two sides) Top Notch agate from the N.Cadys (uncut) Burro Creek brecciated jasper agate (faced 3 sides) Missouri Red Line Lace agate (thick end cut) Graveyard Point plume agate (angle shaped faced 3 sides) Burro Creek - couple of classic purple smalls (uncut) Burro Creek - funky lace agate (face cut) Unknown picture jasper (small faced nodule) Strawberry Lace Onyx from the Ribbon Rock Mine As many nooks and crannies as possible have been filled with misc. tumbles and maybe small cutters.

*bump* Final price drop on this one - It's a great box at $65 ($52 + $13 freight). I'll let it post till this evening then it's coming down. I'm kind of itching to cut another slab of that GYP. It's kind of got a nice starry night scene going on. I know how many fantastic cabbers we have here. If this were me buying this box I could and would pay for the entire box with one slab off that one piece. Here's a cabochon I already sold from it a couple weeks ago - it sold for $42. Couldn't figure out if it looked like fire on a hill or a starfish in a tide pool.

Thank you very much! My wife gave me 'that look' when I said I was probably going to 'keep that box' Please PM me your paypal addy and I'll shoot over an invoice right away.

I think the aggressive sales pitch, but combined with knowledge of the wonderful material you find, and the cab, I could not resist.
