Just left the rock show and ended up with a bag of slabs. I'll put some pics up on Tuesday.
Got some Tiffany Stone, Laguna Lace, Graveyard Plume, Dino Bone, and some stuff I'll probably need ID help on.
So excited!

then comes the tile saw and a one wheel grinder. That's only the beginning. My wife bought an incredible amount of lapidary material before either one of us did lapidary. It became obvious that something needed to be done with all that rock. Next step was a few hundred dollars in used lapidary equipment and then it got a lot worse.

Looks like you did pretty good! Can't wait to see what it all looks like.

Here's the other slabs I got on Friday. They made some deals on a couple of them and one guy even threw in a couple for free, which was nice.
When I get to cabbing them I'll probably ask for ID help on the ones that I can't remember...
Thanks for looking!
