I bought a lot that was supposed to be Fairfield. I pretty much knew it wasn't, but I was happy with the price for Tee Pees or Dryheads. But, which are they?

and while I'm at it a couple more odds and ends. Stefoinite, chrysocolla and thomsonite and silver- 2 views- so hard to get pictures of! The thomsonite was my first - realy tricky to cab because the black is so damn soft.

Very nice cabs! I'm going with Teepee Canyon on your cab. Colors just seem to be more right for Teepee than Dryhead.

BTW, love the Teepee Cab!

That's what I was thinking, too. 20 for a pound ain't bad- even if some aren't so great.

Truth. Teepee isn't so easy to find anymore.

aDave- I meant to add- that is your silver in cobaltite for wrapping. The material is really heavy so I made sure to keep it on the small side and a lower dome. I started with a pretty thick piece, but like I said- it's deceptively heavy.
