Well here they are: The Banjo Rough shots- All are wet and on a standard size paper plate- First up is Copralite I think or is it Plume Agate?  Then is Plume Agate (or maybe Copralite)  Then Petrified Wood  Next Fossil Agate  Some Burro Creek Agate  And Finally Owyhee Picture Jasper  That's it- enjoy. |

Stefan- Looks like the first one is the coprilite (petrified dino poo) The second one is probably plume agate, you should see the plumes between the top and bottom layers. And that fossil agate is messy, at least the first week. It settles down after you rinse and flush and recharge in 60/90. Mine has been going for 3 weeks now, but its finally shaping up nicely (just a word of caution). The rest are all right  The petrified wood is Marston, sometimes called Marston Jasper, it has sort of a green rind with a lot of red. Not your typical petrified wood. ...another 2ยข by... -Banjo |

My first response was "That's petwood?". Not that I doubted, it's just so pretty and colorful! What fun this will be. Banjo, if I EVER get low on rocks again (and that could take a while) you and me gotta talk  Looks like KD should have pattened that paper plate back drop after all. First I come in with the "Single Rose" to one up it, and now stephen is getting ALL fancy shmantsy! cookie |

Are you serious about the dino poo? That's just nasty!  The pet wood is b-e-a-u-tiful! I agree with Cookie - Jeepers where did you get those dainty plates? Whatever happened to the plain 'ole white? BTW Stefan excellent rocks! |

LOL @ Tweety ... I'm with you on that one, dino poo is just nasty. Great looking rough Stefan but then anything Banjo finds has been great!

Thanks Banjo- I pulled off the id labels before memorizing the rocks (shame on me) If Anyone want to trade rocks for my fancy plates I'm willing (just kidding they are the cheapest plate our local chain carries) But looking at them they are kinda nice. Oh and I got an extra set of rechargables for the camera and now that the sun is shining I can shoot outdoors (what a difference it makes). And people it is Fossilized Dino POOP Not fresh- heck it does not even smell or taste like poo ;D

It's still poop! No matter what the format, it's still nasty poop!  What if you lick it? What if you bite into it to test for hardness and get a soft spot? EWWWWW! It's still poop |

That Banjo - he's the man! Best vendor I deal with. Always really neat rocks, packed very carefully and fast shipping.
Great looking rough there. Don't you just love that pet wood! I have several chunks of it I have to cut. I just love the colors in it.
Love the dino poop and plume agate! I haven't had him send me any of that - YET - but after seeing it here, I probably will. Just as soon as my wallet says it okay!
I just hate it when not having enough money interferes with my rock addiction!!

Yes banjo has some awesome stuff- I can't wait to cut the plume agate I have very high hopes for it- And the pet wood is incredible! I don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet I want to cut it but my saw is too small  I think I may smack it down a bit then try to shape it up! |
