Wonderstone is fairly easy (barring furnace-like temperatures) to pick up locally, and can be darn purty. (See my post in Rock Tumbling Photos.)

Anyone interested in some rough? Tumble size ranges from 3/4" to around 2.5". I also have some that might yield some decent slabbettes and slabs, in the 3-6" range or so.

If you're interested, let me know what you think would be a reasonable price. Also always interested in trades for stuff I don't have access to.

Below are a couple photos of stuff I have now. I can always take photos of a box if someone is interested.

You guys are missing out on some fun! We have some great folks here on RTH.

I agree on all accounts. I love working with the Fallon area wonderstone and would love more if I didn't already have a couple of milk crates full.

I love to cut the small cutters even if they yield only a slabbette or two - makes for some very pretty cabochons.

Can't wait to work on the material. Are those natural or heat treated?
