What're your plans for it? Slab it?

I don't have a saw to cut this but might end up taking it to Jerry's Rock shop in Kent to get it slabbed up because I bet it will produce some incredible slabs. If I were to sell the rough as is, shouldn't I be able to get at least $20 a LB? Thanks

Nice hunk of rock. Not sure you could get $20 per pound because it's a gamble to what's inside. I'll bet it would produce outstanding slabs but the hard fact is you never know till you cut it. On the other hand it might produce such spectacular slabs it could yield even more $$ if sold in slab form than as a chunk.

If we were able to carry the love and tolerance shown here into the world as a whole and get anyone to follow the example set, who knows what could be born from that?

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
