not sure if i shared these here or not but here we go most of you here dont really know me i have been busy selling slabs on facebook for years now and have not take much time to share here like one should beings that this is were the rock sickness really started for me .
When i first entered the slab sales world i was in a sea of sharks trying to make a place for myself one of the ways i seen to make a big splash was to offer something no one else had and from some were no one was selling from!.
So i made myself a great friend and rock seller in Turkey it all started with the now well known turkish agate called stick agates after many years of selling over 1000 pounds i always kept what i felt were agates that were to good to be slabbed and one day i would work on them for my display
when i was first moving them the questions on what was really inside what cause the stick like formation so i sent them in to be tested and in fact it was found on most that it really was a reed that had be replaced by a crystaline substance anyway so here are my specimens im working with now
