Hi
I am offering up a second SFRB of slabs for $25 (25 being the 25th number reached on the counting to 25. Thou shalt not count to 20, unless thou proceedest on to 25. 15 is right out). It is open to anyone, but designed with the newbie in mind -- a fair deal on a variety of materials, since we can't make it to shows.
Here is the selection, shown both dry and wet. If you want to see it in higher res, click through to Flickr, and it is available at 4000x2000.
Lapidary slabs by Stephan T., on Flickr
And how for the decoder:
Row 1:
* Arizona rainbow wood. This slab has some pits. It is also uneven (my friend's saw does not advance. the rock needs to be repositioned for each cut). At 0.5-1.5cm thich, there is plenty of material to compensate.
* Unknown jasp agate with brown, white, clear and pinktones
* Crazy lace agate
* Bird's eye rhyolite -- cut thick. They eyes on the back are smaller
Row 2:
* Stone Canyon jasper
* Bacon agate heel cut -- if I can get more material cut in the next few days, I'll replace it with a regular slab
* Unknown breccia
* Rhodonite with bustamite and calcite
* Agate with orbs and druzes. Possibly Big Bend from TX
* Nephrite (Big Sur)
Row 3:
* Tigers eye -- cut thick
* Unknown Coast Range brecciated agate
Row 4:
* Kambaba jasper
* San Francisco jasper (muted but swirly)
* Palm root?
?
* Probable Sheep Canyon agate -- you'll need to work around some vugs
* Nephrite jade -- origin unknown
* Zebra stone -- marked up with Sharpie on the back
* Plain black obsidian
I'll throw in a couple of surprise goodies to make sure the box is as full as it gets (it's a crime to waste space in a FRB).
PM me if interested.
