I recently made a purchase of some large chunks of Colla Wood from roy at R&B Rockshop. He graciously added, as a bonus, a couple of my favorites. Royal Imperial Jasper and Turkish Stick Agate. These yielded some very nice slabs! Thank you Roy!!

Can't wait to see them! We purchased some Colla Wood from Roy, too and he added some extra stuff in our box. With our show this last weekend, we haven't had a chance yet to slab anything. Looking forward to it.

Thanks roy !

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis

I have not been active here for a while, but keep my saws running. Shout out to Roy. (Hi Roy). I get a fair amount of rock from R&B, and I like the feel of our interactions. Sometimes it is difficult getting rough rock form a slabber, because its likely they will keep the best rock for their own slabbing. Roy seems to navigate this well. He slabs great stuff, but also offers a lot of the same rough. Well worth following some of the fb groups Roy sell in.
